It has no content. The logic behind it is, that if the host went down not properly (i.e. power loss) the /etc/rc.sysinit script will find this .autofsck file at next boot time and the system can act with a default scenario or like configured within the file /etc/sysconfig/autofsck. If the hosts shuts down or reboots properly, then the .autofsck file will be erased by the /etc/init.d/halt script and no automatic filesystem check will happen next boot. I think this answers the 3 questions by Ralf. The file is generated by /etc/rc.sysinit, used by the system to know about no proper shutdowns and you should leave the file as it is. There is not any need to delete it. Btw. the /.autofsck file mechanism is used in all Fedora releases since FC1. ############################################################ -- Sam -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
