Why do you accept that?
Every article I have read on the subject has recommended this a good
practice.
Not every source is equal.
The maintainers turned that behavior off by default sometime around the
release of RHEL 6 (before the release, but after the package set was
finalized). Among at least any group I am aware of, ext had been
considered very stable for quite a long time before that, and common
practice was to disable periodic checks. (As Anaconda has since
who-even-knows when. WAY back.)
I have confirmed that filesystems setup by anaconda on both CentOS 6
and RHEL 6 have both boot count and interval disabled however they
are not disabled for any manually created filesystems (they are set
to 24 and 6 months, respectively).
Right. Red Hat's policy was to disable the checks long before that
default changed in e2fsprogs (in version 1.42).
. Once disabled, it is recommended to schedule regular "human
controlled/monitored" filsystem checks, when it is convenient to
do so. These checks should not be ignored, or scheduled too far
apart.
CYA?
I'm not aware of such a recommendation in any of their publicly
available documentation.
This is from https://access.redhat.com/solutions/70531
Can't access it, myself. My university has a site license for RHEL, but
it doesn't give me access to the KB.
