Caldera Debian will now reboot and at the next start it will run a file system check (fsck) on all partitions.
 




If after entering touch /forcefsck you get the message "cannot touch /forcefsck: read-only file system" then enter the following command to mount the root partition first:

mount -o remount,rw /

After successful mount re-enter the touch /forcefsck command and continue with the reboot command as explain in the previous section.
