Subject: [PLUG] fsck: recommended options?

My daily logwatch report shows kernel errors on the external backup drive, /dev/sdb/, an ext3 file system. It's been a very long time since I had occasion to manually run fsck.

After turning no the enclosure (and leaving the drive unmounted) what command line options should I add to fsck.ext3?

TIA,

Rich
