My raspberry pi won't boot, I'm getting an "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,6)" error. I'm trying to solve it by running an fsck on the drive, as many people out there say this is the solution to the problem.
Whenever I try to run an fsck on the drive (the sd card is inserted into my mac), I keep getting a result "fsck usage: fsck [-fdnypq] [-l number]".
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Here is what my terminal output looks like
