Filesystem Check

EasyStorage & LVM15-20 min
The brief

A detached filesystem image at /root/case/fs.img is reporting errors and won't pass a consistency check. Run a forced filesystem check and repair it in place so the image is clean again. (It's an image file, so no unmount/loop dance is needed — e2fsck operates on it directly.) Grading runs a forced check and inspects the repaired metadata.

What you'll do
  • Force a consistency check on /root/case/fs.img
  • Repair the errors it finds
  • Leave the filesystem clean

Hands-on lab: you work on a real Linux box in your browser, graded on the machine's actual state.
