Anyone else getting annoyed by the periodic check forced in ext3 partitions? Maintaining data integrity is precious, automatically repairing errors in the underlying data structure and reducing fragmentation, leading to faster access, but users should at least get the opportunity to determine when these disk maintenance checks are done. How could this be done ? tune2fs See the options -c max-mount-counts -i interval-between-checks[d|m|w] Great, so this could be integrated in Yast ?
In the mean time, in terminal, enter: su - (becoming root) mount (listing mounted devices like for example /dev/sda1) tune2fs -c 1 /dev/sda1 (to trigger a check at next reboot) then after reboot, again as root: tune2fs -c 0 /dev/sda1 (to disable the check based on times mounted) tune2fs -i 1m /dev/sda1 (to trigger a check every month). A GUI based control panel could enable triggering checks of all disks at once and help setting our own preferences. Could this be implemented in OpenSuse 11.0 ? Kind regards Philippe -- tune2fs -i 1 /dev/sda1 (to trigger a check in 1 day) tune2fs -i 0 /dev/sda1 (to disable check based on time) Please enable either time or reboot times based checks to make sure your data is checked regularly in case you forget to trigger checks manually. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
