My server disconnected my SSH session which had a e2fsck running and I would like to re-connect to the shell and see the e2fsck output. I logged into my server via SSH and started a e2fsck on a 3TB harddisk. After 20mins the SSH session closed (Putty) but the e2fsck command is still running. How can I see the output of the running e2fsck? IS there a way to re-connect to the e2fsck output? And secondly: how can I prevent Putty from closing the SSH session?

  • start using screen or similar? this makes your command immune to disconnections and can run as long as it needs – djdomi Aug 11 '23 at 18:42

  • thanks - i can use it in future. What can I do with my current situation. I need to connect to the running e2fck.... – Marc Aug 11 '23 at 19:30
  • The reptyr solution did not work. It only creates a new shell without connecting to the old one. – Marc Aug 11 '23 at 19:39
