Only recently did I learn what the "fsck(8)" nomenclature meant. For 
years, I knew there was additional information to be had in the man 
pages, but typing variants of "$ man fsck(8)" and the like only gave 
exasperating error messages. Now I know that "$ man 8 fsck" is my 
friend.

Thanks!

(It's hard to get help when the instructions for the help are written 
in secret code.)

Best wishes,
Clint
