stop automatic checkdisk on boot
in [Debian]
|
From: Daniel Dalton on 26 Feb 2010 20:50 Every 20 odd boots my system does a checkdisk scan of sda5 (root file system) and sda7 /home. As it's a laptop and I need fast booting, how can I stop these checks all together? I tried setting the 6th field of fstab to 0 for both partitions. I thought it was working, but it seemed to do one check just before, so I'm concerned it's not working. Or is this just a one off? It's possible I failed to shutdown the machine correctly. I forget now. Thanks, Dan
From: Xavier Petit de Meurville on 26 Feb 2010 21:10 Hi, what is your filesystem on this partition ? I don't very well, but maybe you can see the tune2fs command, for example <tune2fs -l > (for ext2/3/4) list the current values of your filesystem : ~]# tune2fs -l /dev/sda6 Last checked: Fri Feb 5 11:48:41 2010 Check interval: 15552000 (6 months) And you can use the same command to change it: ~]# man tune2fs -i interval-between-checks[d|m|w] Adjust the maximal time between two filesystem checks. No postfix or d result in days, m in months, and w in weeks. A value of zero will disable the time-dependent checking.

From: Kelly Harding on 26 Feb 2010 21:30 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I used to find it annoying, though it was a problem that went away when I switched to using XFS as my default filesystem, it doesn't need to do the fsck on boot, so it is much quicker booting in that regard. I do use ext2/3 for /boot and /var mind, but all other partitions use XFS. I may look to migrate the /var to ext4 sometime, but keeping /boot ext2 seems more useful (a old habit that probably isn't needed anymore, but it removes any need to worry about the / filesystem and grub support/issues). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Use GnuPG with Firefox : http://getfiregpg.org (Version: 0.7.10) iEYEARECAAYFAkuIgi0ACgkQCynLVvu7GqdzZgCfVTLxqFfxDbZTDa9ULkZOwkLG JAwAnjJX13KAq5H4g1tN2XacnktmzkNb =q5hG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I think it was still set to check after 27 mounts or something. I had a read of the man page, and I think I have enabled what I want now. Thanks!
