I think that there is an occasional need to check the file system for errors, but I think that it might work better as an optional, but "highly recommended" thing.
Here's another case in point: I have been working to set up an Ubuntu-based Asterisk phone server at my workplace. For this application, having to wait even 1 minute for the system to reboot (if necessary) is barely tolerable, but if it ever has to be restarted for any reason, and then insists on spending the next 5 minutes doing a fsck, thus rendering the business phone-less, that would surely make my employers very frustrated. I'm sure this has already been discussed, but I wish to add my opinion to that of others who believe that a better solution is needed. Surely, fsck is a really good idea, but for certain uses of Ubuntu, it's really not practical. I'm sure that something else can be devised. Keep up the good work. --Dane -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
