Summary: running e2fsck on ext3 often results in dataloss
Product: initscripts
Version: 7.06-18mdk
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: program
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Many people are tempted to press "Y" after an unclean shutdown so that (according to
message)
filesystem gets checked. But for ext3 this runs fsck, which has a big chance of
destroying files
(somehow, it seems that it destroys more on ext3 than on ext2).
please:
- remove the message altogether from rc.sysinit for journalling fs (an expert can
still
do it manually, if for some reason it is wanted)
- make the check sound like a bad idea.
