And you don't have to argue about fsck'ing a filesystem that is mounted - I do not know how this came into this discussion, I would never do this and I have never done this.
Ditto, I don't know why it came. Just as curiosity, Windows can fsck its main partition during boot, dunno how, not sure if mounted or not (it doesn't have the concept). Linux checks root while booting, from the initrd, umounted as far as I know. We all know that to do a filesystem repair in Linux the partition has to be umounted. As to the rest you said, I agree. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
