[Gllug] headless server and fsck

[Tom Schutzer-Weissmann]

We run a headless server which got turned off by mistake. It restarted
without any problems, but I was wondering if there was a way of checking
the root filesystem without attaching a monitor and keyboard

Given that I believe it's unwise to run fsck on a mounted filesystem,
the only thing I can think of is to reboot the server with a live CD
that will start up sshd so I can go in and check out the hard disks.

Does anyone know a better way?
Thanks,
Tom SW
