FSCK on boot

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I am new to Fedora coming from Ubuntu (Debian) Under Ubuntu they had their OS setup to run fsck every X number of mounts. Does Fedora do this? Does it check each mount point? How often? Where is that command at and in which file? I see how to set it up but I don't want to overright the defaults if it is already setup. I want to take good care of my ext4's. I know that for the most part ext4 defrags itself just by the nature of how data is written under it, unlike NTFS Thanks in advance for the help:) (HowTos)

[ubuntu] xfs or ext4 etc.? 1 year 2 weeks ago

Hi i remarked ext4, after a power failure, often needs a manual fsck, sometimes even resulting in data loss. Is XFS or other filesystems any better? Can I do fsck with xfs from the rescue boot etc.? Thanks

Yet another filesystem question. I wanted to use a USB drive that I hadn't mounted for a month or so and was surprised by the fact Ubuntu was unable to mount it. I looked it up in the disk utility and it said it discovered a device with 17 MB instead of 2 GB.

I have a 2TB Western external HDD. Its original filesystem was NTFS but I formatted it to EXT4. I had no problem in Linux; But today after I mounted it using ext2fsd in a windows box, I cant mount it in linux anymore! The drive had no partition but after that windows mount Disk Utility Shows it has a 1KB partition and 2TB unallocated space!!! My Data are not corrupted (I still can view my files us

My Kern.log file advise me to run e2fsck.

Aug 30 14:10:11 ubuntu kernel: [ 122.378292] EXT4-fs (sda11): warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended Aug 30 14:10:11 ubuntu kernel: [ 122.387488] EXT4-fs (sda11): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

I am a newbie in Linux. So this is my story

I installed Ubuntu server 10.04lts. It worked great for many months, until today i decided to run fsck on the system partition and although it warned me, I kept pressing yes and now it will only boot into grub prompt.

So i read some article and tried grub reinstall.

Hi,

On 10.04.4 LTS.

My backup server was improperly shut down due to power failure. However, at that time, backups were turned off.

When turned back on, an automatic fsck was launched on a disk (first one since creation, ~300 days ago).

[ubuntu] Can't execute fsck 3 weeks 3 days ago

I have a Mythbuntu virtual machine running on Citrix Xenserver. I had a power outage recently which has wreaked havoc and I've had to restore the VM from a backup. Now I can't mount a couple of the disks.

In addition to the video diffs, read and follow this article to setup and rebuild the kernel image: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ting_LinuxUUIDs should be fine, but you can change them to labels if you wish (my personal preference).$ cat /etc/fstab tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0 tmpfs /scratch tmpfs nodev,size=14G 0 0

LABEL=boot /boot ext4 defaults,discard,noatime 0 1 LABEL=arch64

I am on a Mac, with Debian installed. Anyways, when I boot, I get a bunch of DRDY Errors. However, it says the errors are on sda2, but my root partition is on sda5, and sda2 is not mounted at boot.
