Yes and no. Of course you can run it as a cli command, BUT NOT on a mounted rw filesystem. That is why the check on boot, before it is mounted rw. You could remount the filesystem ro, but not very convenient on your root partition. I have decided it is a small price to pay for data consistency for as often as I boot the server. FS corruption left uncorrected is not an advantage in the few minutes it adds to a boot every few months IMO.
This conversation has me confused, but then, I'm relatively new to Linux.
But I've read more than one post claiming that someone's Linux system has been up and running nonstop for nearly three years. What kind of file system do _those_ folks use?
Take your pick. I've used ext2 & 3 and Reiser. It's not the file system that makes them reliable, it's the operating system. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
