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.
What distro, how many years ago,
About three years ago. 9.x release.
and are you sure the hardware wasn't at fault?
What part of POWER FAILURE did you not understand? The entire neighborhood had no power for a couple days. I have a UPS, but not THAT good. Unfortunately, when it occurred, I was a couple hundred miles away -- well, actually it was fortunate for me personally, because the we never lost power at the military reservation where I was at during this time.
I've heard of reiser problems in early versions, and especially on redhat. Also, you may have assumed that the filesystem caused your problem when it was simple hardware failure.
This would have been reiser 3, I believe.
