So why not make that the default For the same reason that Ted T'so doesn't think the software itself should blindly assume -y as the default. ;) You are basically asking the Fedora scripts to override the e2fsck defaults chosen by Ted as the safest approach. If nothing else, forcing the user to press "y" at least alerts them that something has gone wrong. An unattended box rebooting post-disaster, running e2fsck -y may move huge swaths of data to lost+found automatically and leave the user scratching their heads about where on earth all their email went (or whatever). If you like the tradeoff by all means set it on your boxes, it may be the right answer in your situation, but I don't like it for a default. -Eric -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
