Hello I have a newbie question, given a centos 5 installation, An 5 very large disk arrays ( 2.5Tbytes each ) - Is there a way to suspend or stop the fsck during the boot up? The system seems to pick the most inopportune time to decide to reach the check count limit... and with this many disks, a reboot takes several hours... which is an eternity when your boss is looking over your shoulders for data right now!
You might want to have look here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/ext3-users/2007-April/msg00019.html That thread describce how to disable the automatic fsck and also how to use lvm snapshots to run an fsck with everything up and running. Never tried it myself but I am sure Ted Tso knows what he is talking about. It is for sure on my to-do list.
