*To install any of the below utilities if they're missing: opk install XYZ

*To display information about a "disk" or file system: mount OR df OR dumpe2fs

*To change "boot" partition (IE, the one mounted to the OPT Directory): mount -o bind /tmp/mnt/sda_part1 /opt OR mount -o bind /tmp/mnt/sda_part2 /opt (part2 is the backup partition)

*To "CHKDSK" a file system:e2fsck -~~Vpt ext2~~ /dev/sdaX OR fsck.ext2 (-V is for Verbose, -p automatically repairs, -t is file system type) (remember, make sure it is not mounted) (to install utility, with additional utilities for other stuff:opkg install e2fsprogs)

*To display information about a "disk" or file system: mount OR df OR dumpe2fs /dev/sdaX

**umount /dev/sdaX

*To "CHKDSK" a file system:e2fsck -v -p /dev/sdaX OR fsck.ext2 (-v is for Verbose, -p automatically repairs, -t is file system type but is not available) (remember, make sure it is not mounted) (to install utility, with additional utilities for other stuff:opkg install e2fsprogs)

**umount /dev/sdaX (some services like smb and proftpd might be using the partition, so stop)

**mke2fs or mkfs.ext2 -L WhatEverLabel /dev/sdaX

**...wait FOREVER if it is a USB drive (about an hour for a small EXT2 partition on a USB 2.0 port)
