DarkWater Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Yeah, well, I went to go reboot my Ubuntu after some updates I did, and I got caught by that like "do fsck every x boots" thing. I hardly ever reboot this comp, so I guess I hit the first threshold and it was doing fsck. I couldn't bare how long it was taking, so I rebooted, went into GRUB, and booted in recovery mode. I made sure everything was good with dkpg and x-fix and stuff (why not, lol), and then I went into the root terminal and ran emacs /etc/fstab and changed the setting on my /dev/sda1 to stop it. It worked and everything, but I wanted to know if there was a way to check how often fsck is set to do its thing. It may have been in /etc/fstab, but I didn't look. Thanks.

DarkWater Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Take a look at.... man tune2fs Ah, thanks. Good to know. That fsck thing caught me by surprise, so I had to do some intense Lynx-ing on that root terminal to figure out that I needed to play with /etc/fstab. >_< Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/126343-fsck-annoyances/#findComment-653561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
