Hi everybody, I think since Precise, autochecking the automounted filesystems is switched off. I checked in an installed instance of Saucy right now, and it is still installed without autochecking.
Is this intentional or has somebody overlooked it? After all, there is a sharp warning about it in tune2fs. See the details at the end of this mail. I usually set maximum mount count to 30, and I suggest that we switch it on in Saucy, maybe with a higher number, for example 50, or set a check interval for example once a week or once a month. Best regards Nio -o- sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sdf3 ... Mount count: 5 Maximum mount count: -1 Last checked: Sat Jun 15 11:39:05 2013 Check interval: 0 (<none>) ... man tune2fs ... -c max-mount-counts Adjust the number of mounts after which the filesystem will be checked by e2fsck(8). If max-mount-counts is 0 or -1, the number of times the filesystem is mounted will be disregarded by e2fsck(8) and the kernel. Staggering the mount-counts at which filesystems are forcibly checked will avoid all filesystems being checked at one time when using journaled filesystems. You should strongly consider the consequences of disabling mount-count-dependent checking entirely. Bad disk drives, cables, memory, and kernel bugs could all corrupt a filesystem without marking the filesystem dirty or in error. If you are using journaling on your filesystem, your filesystem will never be marked dirty, so it will not normally be checked. A filesystem error detected by the kernel will still force an fsck on the next reboot, but it may already be too late to prevent data loss at that point. See also the -i option for time-dependent checking. ... -o- -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
