Someone asked today about how fsck automatically runs and how to avoid it with ext3 partitions. The website with the ext3 patch says this: ====== A feature of e2fsck is that it will regularly force a check of a filesystem even if the filesystem is marked clean. Typically, this happens on every twentieth mount or every 180 days, whichever comes first. This still happens with ext3, and is quite possibly not what you want to happen - one of the reasons you chose ext3 was to avoid the downtime which is caused by a long fsck. So it is a good idea to turn this feature off for ext3. Use the command tune2fs -i 0 -c 0 /dev/hdxx To disable the checking. ===== I've just patched my 2.4.7 kernel to enable ext3 filesystems. We'll see how it goes... Hall
