Ok i'm a total Linix noob, my expertise lie elsewhere.
I am getting this message in the system log:
Using the "Disk Utility > Rescan" makes no difference.
I tried:
So then i did:
Ok so I "Safely remove disk" in the GUI, now I get
Reached the limit of my knowledge now
What do I need to do to check the EXT4 filesystem and mark it clean?
Thanks.
I am getting this message in the system log:
Code:

I tried:

So then i did:

e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
