Folks, A long time, maybe 11 years ago, I built a NAS box based around comodity hardware and the Debian of the day. It's currently been through several apt-get dist-upgrades and currently running Debian 11 with loads of old config grandfathered into it.
It's a server, so runs 24x7 but every few months or so falls on its arse. Periodically it wants to fsck the disks, either because they've gone 20 mounts or so without a fsck or more often because they've gone however many days it is without a fsck. This I can live with. I can even live with the fact that with several TB file systems and quite a few files, the processs takes around fuor hours. I'd just be nice to have some progress reported. While it managed to spit details of any file system errors that have been found and corrected, other than that it sits there utterly silent. For hours. I can see that it's doing something as 1) it's expected behaviour and 2) I can see the disk light solid on. Nevertheless, it would be nice to see the progress bar indicting how it was getting along. Does aoyone have any idea how to enable this? I have no idea where to look. I've had several attempts at finding the answer with a well-known Internet search engine but while I've found many similar questions and even sometimes the same one as I'm asking but so far an answer has proved illusive. Does anyone have any suggestions for a solution or indeed where one may look for one? Regards, Mike.
