If one needs to have / checked, does openSUSE (13.1...) support making a file called /forcefsck so it happens on reboot? We have a user with a system that is reporting an I/O error on /var/log/messages. And the system is slow. At least KDE is slow. Having eliminated the obvious (no or little disk space), and seeing no process eating CPU time, and getting an I/O error when accessing the end of /var/log/messages, I am considering checking if the root fs has issues. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It did, before systemd. With systemd, I do not know; you have to try.

I would recommend boot using the 13.1 XFCE rescue system in an USB stick: http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/discontinued/distribution/13.1/iso/openSUSE... You have to verify filesystem and disk surface, with smartctl. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
