Description:
Fsck is a disc utility that tries to fix the map of an E-Format disc
(hard or floppy) if it is corrupted for some obscure reason. fsck can
also report some information on the way the files are allocated (such
as the bytes lost because of sectors boundaries) and eventually print a
detailed description of the map and directory organization. fsck can
also be considered as a replacement of the *CheckMap command because it
is faster, less prone to crash and can give useful information on the
files allocation.
HardFix is a disc utility that fixes the errors that can affect the
boot block, the 2 copies of the map and the root directory without
having to scan the whole directory tree. These sort of errors generally
make the disc un-readable or un-writable! hardfix can also be used to
write the bootblock, map and root directory to a file, so that you can
always try to restore them in case they are totally damaged (ie.
absolutely unfixable).
Eliminate is a disc utility that eliminates a file from the directory
but not from the disc map. This means that the disc space used by the
file is lost (you should recover it using fsck). eliminate can
effectively be useful only to remove the files that cannot be deleted
in the usual way by RISC OS (for example a broken directory).
