I thought that fsck.ext3 was in the 0.7.2 CD to make a check on an ext3 fs. Why is it not available?
Offline
Because it's a symlink to e2fsck?

I would make the symlink, I think it knows which fsck.whatever by the filename referencing the binary.
Is it really not there?

just use e2fsck, it knows it's actually ext3 it's looking at and acts accordingly, despite the name. I just recovered quite a bit of data with it...

Not on my Gimmick installation:

I am talking only about the CD enviroment. I didn't used the 0.7.2 CD to install a system. My system was installed with a 0.7.1 CD some months ago and it's current (passed Gimmick milestone). Sorry about the confusion.
Maybe I need a live CD to maintain/repair my Arch system. Maybe the Arch CD has not that role (only install support).

The arch install cd does have a couple fsck's on it, so it's good for very minimal maintenance type stuff. A livecd is better for bigger chores though...

It's a hardlink, see that "3" there before root, that file has 3 hard links linking ot it (three filenames). Probably the third is e2fsck.

what's the other two?
