damn checksum error on FFS partition!

[klx300r]

so I know there's a new DiskDoctor and although DiskSalv has saved my partitions before I remembered it's only for drives less than 4GB soooooooo how to use DiskDoctor
go to shell, run diskdoctor sys:...it runs examining the disk BUT does is there a separate command to fix checksum errors etc.?

wow ! so did that just & re-booted few times with no annoying checkum errors so looks like DiskDoctor actually did more than 'examining'

@ olsen
interesting info...the checksum errors on my system popped up after literally hours of transferring files from a CF card in the pcmcia port to a 32GB DOM in the onboard IDE port...I believed a small electricity interruption in my house stopped the transferring and that's when errors started popping up......

so the new DiskDoctor with OS3.1.4 only 'examines' hard drives so what to use then on drives larger than 4GB's nowadays to try to 'repair' issues ?

@ kolla
ouch  so we have nice large new FFS partitions with new roms and OS3.1.4 + but no way to fix or try to repair common issues on them unless we keep them beneath the old 4GB limit

@ olsen
thanks so much for the detailed explanation. I guess I'm lucky in that I can transfer files from my affected partition to my CF card with no problems so far...the process will be slow as I had alot of data on that partition but at least DiskDoctor has allowed me to backup/transfer files.
So I wonder if there are any 'repair' programs if I choose to format the affected partition with SFS (or others) next time.....I thought the new FFS was the more stable/secure option for larger than 4GB partitions moving forward but this experience has left me snake bitten

true the answer is always to backup whats important for sure but I've saved many partitions on my miggies over the years from the dreaded checksum errors using DiskSalv but of course all those partitions were below the magical 4GB mark ...looks like I'll be making some more 4GB partitions as I've always done before moving forward to at least save time and headaches next time a little power bleep occurs while my hard drive is working
