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.
all it takes is a little attention -- if, for you, as it does for me now, fsck starts a 60 day timer when it performs its chore, all that is required of you is to pay attention to when that chore is performed, make a log entry, and use a script to remind you when the next 60 day fsck is drawing near you can force an fsck before the 60 day trigger with the /forcefsck trick, thus avoiding any time crunch emergencies i always log my fscks, i always force one before the next one delays my next cold boot -- why would anyone do less? just pay attention sc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
