I noticed after a crash (due to loss of electricity) that file systems was not asked to be fscked
after reboot. The file /.autofsck is created at boot, as before, but comparing rh el 4 with fc5 it seemes that inside rc.sysinit the piece below is missing, so that
the system does not prompt if one wants to force fsck and one has to manually create /forcefsck and reboot in this case
(or probably is there a boot flag to tell to force fsck? I don't know this).
if [ "$PROMPT" != "no" ]; then
if [ "$AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK" = "yes" ]; then
if /sbin/getkey -c $AUTOFSCK_TIMEOUT -m $"Press N within %d seconds to not force file system integrity check..." n ; then
AUTOFSCK_OPT=
fi
else
if /sbin/getkey -c $AUTOFSCK_TIMEOUT -m $"Press Y within %d seconds to force file system integrity check..." y ; then
AUTOFSCK_OPT=-f
fi
fi
echo
else
# PROMPT not allowed
if [ "$AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK" = "yes" ]; then
echo $"Forcing file system integrity check due to default setting"
else
echo $"Not forcing file system integrity check due to default setting"
fi
fi
I'm testing fedora right now and don't know previous versions, so this could also be standard policy for fedora. Sorry in this case.
Is this ok, due to devel os or did it disappear uncorrectly?
I would like to have this chance also for devel/test systems.
Just my opinion.
Thanks for reading.
