You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have installed XBMC on a Zotac MAG ION.
Is it possible to defragment en check the harddrive within XBMC Live?
No need. Defraging is a Windows thing.

Oke, but is there a way to check the disk for errors?
I think my harddisk is a little corrupt and I would like to check this.
fsck is the equivalent of chkdsk.

fsck /dev/sd*

^ Do not run that that will check every disk. Need to figure out which is your disk.
Linux is structured
/dev/sd{a-z} being the hard disk
/dev/sda{1-100) The number is the partition number.

So like fsck /dev/sda1. it will be need to run with administrative rights. So actually

sudo fsck /dev/sda1


Pertaining fragmentation as poofy hairy guy said there isn't much need on nix. I tried a few defraggers and didn't notice any benefit so just skipped it.
