Yes and no. Of course you can run it as a cli command, BUT NOT on a mounted rw filesystem. That is why the check on boot, before it is mounted rw. You could remount the filesystem ro, but not very convenient on your root partition. I have decided it is a small price to pay for data consistency for as often as I boot the server. FS corruption left uncorrected is not an advantage in the few minutes it adds to a boot every few months IMO. This conversation has me confused, but then, I'm relatively new to Linux.
But I've read more than one post claiming that someone's Linux system has been up and running nonstop for nearly three years. What kind of file system do _those_ folks use?
That was probably me - I posted an uptime from a server which has been up for near 1040 days now. We also have a few dozen linux servers with only around 550 days uptime (more recent kernel update), but none of the servers has ever gone down except for hardware maintenance, a kernel update, or a power failure.
They all use reiser, which is BTW the default on suse enterprise.
Unfortunately, reiserfs burned me in a power failure situation. In contrast, my laptop suffered a couple power failures (generator maintenance on base which was typically 4+ hours), and with XFS, I have suffered no problems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
