[01-16-07 15:17]: I have been running 10.2 for several weeks now and just in the last two or three days my system ran fsck at each startup. I've only rebooted once a day, so I have no idea why this started happening. I don't believe it was happening until just recently, so maybe it's a result of a system patch (?). I forget where you set the count as to how many reboots need to occur between fscks. Could someone tell me where that setting is? I know I haven't modified it and for as long as I have had SuSE (since 8.1) I believe it was set at 99. It's never done this before.
remember Goggle ???
a goggle search for "file system check frequency" eighth suggestion gives "tune2fs" which exists in e2fsprogs, for ext2/3 filesystems (you didn't say which). There is a manpage.
I'm sure that a similar utility exists for other filesystems. Goggle is available.
I had tried Google, but couldn't come up with a phrase that narrowed things down enough. Mostly got hits about how to run fsck. I tried your search criteria and found the one about tune2fs. I ran -- tune2fs -T and got ...(29-May-2006). That's the same date I see in the log every time fsck runs. Sounds like a problem. I'm going to look at this command some more and see if I can dig any other information out. However, it would seem that running e2fsck would automatically re-set that date, but maybe there is some special type of e2fsck running on my machine that isn't driven by date. On the other hand, 29-May-2006 is a long time ago. Surely an auto-fsck should have been run since then. Pretty strange.
