The system maintains a count of how many times the disk was mounted and when a preset number of mounts is reached it checks your drive. If you boot your machine often (as I do with my laptop, at least twice a day, when getting to work and when getting home. Sometimes also on the train ;-), you may want to change this count. Try 'man tune2fs' for more information. Today I discovered that there is also a time interval check. I booted a machine today that I haven't used in many months and it forced a check because a long time passed since the last check.. tune2fs -l /dev/device Will show you, among other things, how many times the device was mounted, what is the maximum mount count (default is 20), when it was last checked and the check interval (default 6 months). man tune2fs will also give you information on how to change these numbers.

Thanks for this useful post. This was something which interested me too. Damon Register -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
no problem - it's just the filesystem checking everything is ok. You can change the no. of mounts until this occurs either in Yast's partitioning menu (Expert mode) or running tune2fs. Read man tune2fs first! On Sat, 8 Apr 2000, Damian Slavek wrote:

I just wanted to know because sometimes it would only be my / partition and others it would be all my partitions. It takes quite awhile when it checks all my partitions because my /usr partition is ~4GB. I don't plan on changing or turning it off. Thanks all for the info. On Sun, 9 Apr 2000, wulfie wrote:
