Hi Friends, How fsck runs after power failure in Linux?
Unmounting a file system during a standard shutdown sets the clean bit in the file system header, indicating that the file system was cleanly umounted and is consistent. If the Linux system is not properly shut down such as on power failure or on system crashes, the clean bit in file system header is not set which indicates that the file system is not clean and need to be cleaned by utilities like fsck/e2fsck in order to make them usable again. -- Thanks & Regards Ranjithkumar R _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
