Please help me understand when and how often to run fsck.
It is in my boot parms from menu.lst
Code: Select all
psubdir=/vanilla10 pmedia=atahd pfix=fsck
However the output of tune2fs seems to show it hasn't ran since I set the system up.
Code: Select all
Filesystem created: Fri Sep 23 14:01:37 2022
Last mount time: Fri Apr 17 15:31:54 2009
Last write time: Fri Apr 17 15:31:54 2009
Mount count: 831
Maximum mount count: -1
Last checked: Fri Sep 23 14:01:37 2022
Check interval: 0 (<none>)
The way I'm reading this
Max mount count -1 means disabled check after xx number of mounts
Check interval 0 (<none>) means disabled scheduled check interval
So how does this work? My understanding it fsck will not run at boot up if the system is marked clean but how does it know that if it never runs? Or does it do a quick scan on every boot?
