How to force fsck at boot? Home partition having errors.

Hi,
I searched the forum but didn't find any suitable solution. Please help.

dmesg shows this error

Code:

onenand_wait: correctable ECC error = 0x5555, addr1 0xa, addr8 0x0

So I tried e2fsck on the home partition (/dev/mmcblk0p3) which gives me this output/warning..

Code:

~ # /sbin/e2fsck -f -n /dev/mmcblk0p3

e2fsck 1.41.12maemo1 (17-May-2010)

Warning!  /dev/mmcblk0p3 is mounted.

Warning: skipping journal recovery because doing a read-only filesystem check.

Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes

Pass 2: Checking directory structure

Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity

Pass 4: Checking reference counts

Pass 5: Checking group summary information

Free blocks count wrong (283556, counted=284810).

Fix? no



Free inodes count wrong (97169, counted=97223).

Fix? no





/dev/mmcblk0p3: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors **********



/dev/mmcblk0p3: 33903/131072 files (6.2% non-contiguous), 240732/524288 blocks

Code:

~ # /sbin/e2fsck -f -c -v /dev/mmcblk0p3

e2fsck 1.41.12maemo1 (17-May-2010)

/dev/mmcblk0p3 is mounted.  



WARNING!!!  The filesystem is mounted.   If you continue you ***WILL***

Do you really want to continue (y/n)? no

I'm surprised searching didn't turn up juiceme's post to a similar problem:

Just load up ubiboot kernel without flashing it, and telnet to the device & run fsck on filesystems.
(or fsck them on USB mount if you have linux)

Thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction.

Also while searching the forum I did went through the thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91626 in which juiceme had posted his comments, but i failed to notice it - my mistake.
