File system check failing to run on HDD in my Zgemma H7S.

[Joe_90]

If the resource is busy, then you may have timeshift running or you are logging to the HDD maybe? If you can telnet to the box, maybe stop enigma with "init 4" and then "umount /dev/sda1", then "fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sda1"

he only way I can seem to get fsck running is with -n and as I understand it that means the result is largely meaning less.
