[wellylug] CentOS maintainance

[David Harrison]

The default ext3 filesystem on Centos/Red Hat is generally pretty robust.
If fsck didn't run when you powered the server up, you may want to run a
full disk scan just to make sure everything is okay.

'shutdown -rF' will reboot the server and run fsck on all disks.

If you are running a database on your server you may want to check them out.

For MySQL, 'mysqlcheck -Aor' will repair and optimise all your local
databases.
