mdadm runs checkarray monthly (it avoids /etc/cron.montly/ and instead uses a custom crontab to run the first sunday of each month). e2fsck runs a forced check after 20 mounts or 6 months since last check, whichever comes first. For a system that's used regularly 20 mounts is basically one month. I get the impression there's consensus on one month as a reasonable interval. >> Should zfsutils package install a script in /etc/cron.monthly/zfs to >> do this?

Would you use /etc/cron.monthly or a custom script to run first sunday of every month like mdadm? Running only on sunday sounds good, I wonder why doesn't /etc/cron.monthly always run on sundays already. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
