I use an @reboot cronjob to fsck and mount large partitions that are
not immediately necessary upon boot. I get an e-mail from cron if
there was an issue found during fsck'ing, and usually things just work
out fine. These partitions are marked with 0 0 in fstab:
[we...@bfib] $ cat /usr/local/libexec/cronscripts/afterboot
#!/bin/sh
# afterboot: fsck and mount large partitions
######################################################################
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin
for PART in `awk '/0 0$/ {print $1}' /etc/fstab`
do
if fsck -p ${PART} > /dev/null
then
mount ${PART}
else
echo "Errors found on ${PART}, please check"
fi
done
Many ways to skin a cat, I suppose, but this one works fine for me...
