That's what I tried to explain in the paragraph before (before what you quoted): "More precisely: You never know if any checksums taken on a running system are reported correctly. But: If you take an online system (powered up), take checksums of important files or partitions, and they are the same after the system later becomes offline (powered down), then they were reported correctly to begin with. Whereas if they were correct before running it and are then are reported correct while the system is running, it does not tell you anything." > Maybe it's just the periodic fsck which changes the mount count? > Check your fstab for the last field (fs_passno).

I now turned off the fstab checks and also both entries with tune2fs. Since nothing on the /boot partition is allowed to change, fsck serves no purpose any longer. More precisely, the change detector must notice anything anyway that fsck would see. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkuYdbgACgkQ+VSRxYk44094qQCaA6dGZwOgm24xyMnIz+rLMA2I 99MAn2qQrUoKS520k97rDsb45QR63sfR =Logz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
