There are lots of cases you want that thing to stop. For example if there is important data on the box and you decide to get advice first. If you follow the most basic single rule of recovering a damaged file system you want it to stop so you can make a copy. Indeed you may well need a professional recovery expert or have a support contract and need to ask the helpdesk... -y in some cases is also things like: "Destroy any hope of recovering your PhD Thesis" Alan -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
