http://unix.stackexchange.com – I used to be able to run /sbin/shutdown -r -F now but in recent Ubuntu and Fedora releases there is no -F option and if I want to force an fsck I need to do touch /forcefsck; /sbin/shutdown -r now. Why was it removed? (HowTos)
Email this pagehttp://ubuntuforums.org – Is there any sense in running fsck -N first or should we just use -y right away and get it all over and done with fast? When we run fsck or e2fsck with the -y option and there are some serious file system problems, it silently unlinks any orphaned files to the lost+found. That's all fine and dandy when there's no big problems, normally no files need to be unlinked and fsck just runs and fixes t (Hardware)

Email this pagehttp://serverfault.com – My embedded linux device uses an SD card for saving certain diagnostics data, far too copious for internal flash. The problem is if the device is switched off unexpectedly, the filesystem (FAT32) on the card is formatted. There is no way to prevent unexpected power outages or user switching it off like that, and the device should be relatively maintenance-free. (HowTos)

Email this pagehttp://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. (HowTos)
