me too :D


Instead of parsing df -t output, invoking tune2fs -l and doing
a whole bunch of grep magic, I wonder if there's a smarter way to

you can take a look what ubuntu does, on /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-fsck-at-reboot

basically it runs dumpe2fs and parse the max mount count and fsck interval time, it compares it to how many mounts and how long since last fsck

i think is fast, maybe due to the fact they cache the results


find out if fsck would do something if it were to run now.

There is

   fsck -A -t ext2,ext3,ext4,… ...

but I could not find out how to ask it the question I want answered,
which is: "hey, fsck, if you were to run right now on -All
filesystems of -type as listed, would you want to do a routine
check?"

Do you know?

Cheers,
