The problem is that if the fsck finds something, you need to spend time on it, watching the report, and you may need to answer questions with y/n for it to proceed. > And the check is good > for something I presume, otherwise it wouldn't have been implemented in > the first place. Sure, hardware damage that corrupts the file system in a place where it isn't recognised at run-time. Only a periodic fsck will detect that. And hopefully it doesn't come too late. > Since I don't really mind having a forced fsck on > shutdown, I wanted to go with that instead of disabling it all together. Depending on your partitioning scheme, it would be possible to keep the automatic fsck intervals for your "small" system partitions (and tune them so they are not checked at once) and run a shell script for checking huge data partitions during shutdown (aftering unmounting them in the script). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
