Hi, Currently my debian installs seem to default to running fsck on ext3 file systems during bootup after 30 boots I believe.
I noticed that never happened in the old days when I ran redhat/fedora. They did away with this routine fsck (sometime around 6.2 -> 7 or 7.2 transition as I recall) when they switched from ext2 to ext3 as I recall. This occurs during /etc/rcS.d/S30check-fs entry entry during boot, right after file system mount, I believe. Is this neccessary on debian if we have journaled file systems? After all it made sense for ext2 but do we need this for ext3? Maybe I am really not supposed to reboot my machine? But how can I stop 180 days from passing? :) 1. How do I modify this to 100 boots or 500 days or never? 2. Can anyone give me references that give a scholarly technical analysis of this concept and a discussion of why it is still neccesary?
