yes, from the command line there is fsck. /sbin/fsck on my distributions. for example as a word of caution: unmount the file system first! do a man fsck and read about it. |

No, chkdsk is available from within recovery console in wind2000 / XP. Equivalent is fsck.... but don't tun this command on mounted volume / filesystem. It is better to run by this command like: |

On Linux systems you will be using the command "fsck". The command fsck stands for "file system check" and can be used with a variety of different file systems including ext2/3/4 and ReiserFS. As a standard user you can type the following at the command prompt to learn more: $ man fsck However, in order to perform a file system check using this command, you will have to be root or run sudo fsck. Some GUI tools exist but this command is usually run from the command line. Good Luck! |

With most file systems you can use the fsck utility. Reading the man page or this article on cyberciti should tell you more. |

The equivalent of chkdsk in Linux is fsck. Here is the fsck man page: http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man8/fsck.8.php Basic usage examples: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/repairing-linux-ext2-or-ext3-file-system.html |

The function you are looking for is called fsck but this is typically for ext based file systems (ext2/3/4) which tend to be the most commonly used, for any other file systems you may want to look it up on here or google. |

Linux and Unix do not have a program called chkdsk. It is called fsck. |

There is no for chkdsk on Linux/Unix based systems. To test file integrity a file system uses fsck when it warrants it. That is, if a power outage occurs etc. In Debian, fsck is set to check file integrity every 30 boots or so, whether it's needed or not. |

Yes and no. Linux's version of chkdsk is called fsck. It runs automatically on start up you can find more here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fsck |

I would think the command would do the same thing as chkdisk. |

Yes. From a terminal, you can use the fsck program to repair disks. Most distrobutions also supply a graphical disk utility, like GParted, that can repair disks as well as set up partitions. |

Yes it does ... it is called fsck (filesystem check) and should be used like this : fsck /dev/device |

Yes. The 'chkdsk' command as you known is a check and repair file system tool. For linux you need to determine what type of file system you use, you can try use 'df' for that and then use the 'e2fsck' command to check and repair your file system. Take a time ro read the manual before use the command, it is dangerous and can corrupt your date if u don't known how to use. |

Depending on the filesystem you use there may or may not be a chkdsk-alike called fsck. |

Yes, only in Linux it's called fsck |
