Hello:
I have openSUSE 11.2 with several partitions. At every Nth mount fsck checks a given partition, which takes a long time. Sometimes I do need the computer quickly and don't want to wait until fsck finishes. Is there an option that makes possible to interrupt or cancel file system checking during boot so that the checking would be completed at the next boot? I don't want to disable it or change the max count, I just want occasionally bypass checking at boot. I tried to interrupt fsck by pressing ctrl+c but it resulted in a not normal boot, many partitions were not mounted.
I also googled but did not find anything helpful.
Thanks,
Istvan
I can't think of a reasonable way to interrupt the fsck, but you could try tune2fs to change the number of times the FS is mounted before requiring a check (see tune2fs man page or google around) all of this should bear the standard caveats; I assume you're using ext4 and it's going out of standard, etc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
