Hello, Please, can anyone point me in the right direction with this problem. I thought the command "tune2fs -c 1000 -i 60 /dev/hda7" would solve my problem. This changes a forced fsck every 1000 boots instead of 37 and mandatory fsck at 18,400 seconds, which is 60 days. As root, the system acknowledged my change, but does NOT implement it because I still do an fsck after 26 mounts. Can anyone tell me where this number representing the number of boots before a forced file check is initiated, is located???
Which partition actually gets booted? /dev/hda7 or /dev/hda1 ? Also try it without the -i command.
/boot is /dev/hda6 and is ext2 type / is /dev/hda7 and is also ext2 type, containing the balance of the 80Gb of disk capacity. These unusual assignments resulted from a "Partition Magic" reallocation when I originally also had a 20 Gb Windows Xp partition which has since been deleted. Haven't tried it wothout the -i command but will later this evening. Thanks Harry
