I know that there is a way to setup a more freguent cleaning becuase ext2 when making a FS will allow the number of cycles to change.

Perhaps the tune2fs command. I do not know the one for Reiser but for ext2/3 tune2fs sets how often the fs should be checked. /sbin/reiserfstune

HOWEVER, this setting is ignored if the server goes done hard and the server will run the fsck on all partitions to prevent data loss and ensure partition integrity. Disabling it is a BAD BAD idea. Mandrake might have a 'Press any key to check the fs' but the actual check is still undertaken. Canceling the fsck, whether you have to 'press a key' or log in manually, is a VERY BAD idea. I fully concur with this. I do think that all file systems should be checked periodically. ext2 used to drive me nuts because I kept several file systems unmounted by default, and mounted them for backups or something else. They then would exceed their mount count. -- Jerry Feldman Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

Ok guys, point taken. So let me word this a slightly different way. Is there a way to make fsck not stop when it hits an error, rather it just sets a error in some log and I check manually?
