i wonder if the right spec to enhances with this wishlist is this one https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/PartitionManagement
I suggest to check it, find another one more suitable for the purpose or even - if it's possible - to create one. ** Summary changed: - ext 3 filesystems are never fsck'ed if they live on removable USB disks + filesystems are never fsck'ed if they live on removable USB disks ** Description changed: I don't know which package to assign this bug to, and sorry if it has been reported before - I couldn't find a report. ext2/3 filesystems are regulary fsck'ed after a given number of boots if those filesystems are part of the fixed disks. However removable USB disks (I can only check for those, but I guess firewire at al. also share this) are never fsck'ed automatically. This might me dangerous because they are much more likely to be removed incorrectly (w/o unmounting) and are attached/reattached frequently. I just realized that my external disk was mounted hundreds of times without ever being checked (and am sure that despite trying to be responsible, I sometimes yanked the cable w/o unmounting) + + NOTE: + i've removed the ext3 case because this also applies to some other filesystem types as described in duplicated bugs. -- filesystems are never fsck'ed if they live on removable USB disks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85291 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
