Seems I had a typo on such a simple command. :)
I created /forcefsck   (not /forcefsk)
I rebooted and the file is gone. OK.

How then to just go ahead "fix" any issue. This is on a remote computer -
and just need it to "fix" and boot.
I did find /fsckoptions  and I could put a -y in there - but how do I
"simulate" a file system issue - so the fix will happen ?

Thanks

Jerry
