In reply to John's mail, d.d. Mon, 25 Nov 2002 11:20:53 +0000: Hi John,
I am not worried about the time it took to complete the fsck. After all, when I do a normal reboot, after 15 or so of these, it also takes that long. My main problem is that the computer won't start up regularly after being switched off for a while. I thought it might be the backup battery on the mainboard that is playing up (since the cpu speed is messed up) but then the rest of the settings remain fine. >opportunity when convenient to reboot just to get regular fsck's, >otherwise you build up a bigger and bigger job when you do. >I bet you go in and out of your spare partitions as well so >they will have to be fsck 'ed , and the computer counts the >number of times you access these partitions too. No, I don't think >you have anything wrong, it's just the system's way of telling >you to do it more often, that's all. I tend to reboot the machine every week, just for security's sake. And to avoid unnecessary checking.
