ac_dispatcher Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Are you asking how set up the number of boots before the system does a file system check? First place that comes to mind in the fstab file. The dump-freq and pass-num entries. What type of file system is it? If its a ext3 - tune2fs is an utility that you can use to change both the number of bootups between filesystem checks, and the number of days/weeks/months between filesystem checks. For example to have the filesystem checked once every 60 bootups use $sudo tune2fs -c 60 To have the filesystem check run periodically, say once a week, use $sudo tune2fs -i 1w changing the “w†to “d†or “m†will have the check run once daily and once monthly - you get the idea. As always, you can read $man tune2fs for more detailed information and examples.
