I've been bitten bad by e2fsck where it's borked my system such that I've had to reinstall. Since I don't want to be forced into that again, I'm trying to disable it permanently and take my chances on losing a file here or there.
However, I can't seem to shut it off. So far, I've used tune2fs -c0 -i 0 to shut it off (interval and count are disabled .. see confirmation below). That didn't work. Next I used dpkg-divert to move e2fsck out of my path and rebuild the initramfs with update-initramfs, but it still runs on boot (I can't figure out how it got a copy of e2fsck). I have to use Esc to abort it. What's the trick to disable it on hardy?? paul :~$ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/vgsda12-lvrootsda12 tune2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) Filesystem volume name: <none> Last mounted on: <not available> Filesystem UUID: 8bbf135a-ecb3-4c7d-b9a6-d96fd953b657 Filesystem magic number: 0xEF53 Filesystem revision #: 1 (dynamic) Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery sparse_super large_file Filesystem flags: signed_directory_hash Default mount options: (none) Filesystem state: clean with errors Errors behavior: Continue Filesystem OS type: Linux Inode count: 892928 Block count: 3568640 Reserved block count: 178432 Free blocks: 792705 Free inodes: 602839 First block: 0 Block size: 4096 Fragment size: 4096 Reserved GDT blocks: 871 Blocks per group: 32768 Fragments per group: 32768 Inodes per group: 8192 Inode blocks per group: 256 Filesystem created: Sat Jul 19 19:29:03 2008 Last mount time: Sun Aug 10 14:41:31 2008 Last write time: Sun Aug 10 14:41:31 2008 Mount count: 29 Maximum mount count: -1 Last checked: Wed Jul 30 19:53:55 2008 Check interval: 0 (<none>) Reserved blocks uid: 0 (user root) Reserved blocks gid: 0 (group root) First inode: 11 Inode size: 128 Journal inode: 8 First orphan inode: 869173 Default directory hash: tea Directory Hash Seed: 74af1ac9-4826-4a95-a594-b99f15b0a883 Journal backup: inode blocks paul :~$ dpkg-divert --list | grep e2fs local diversion of /sbin/e2fsck to /diverted/sbin/e2fsck -- 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
