With regards to being able to interrupt scheduled root partition fsck, the e2fsprogs maintainer (Theodore Tso) said I should try setting the allow_cancellation option in /etc/e2fsck.conf
I tried that, but hitting Ctrl+C during the root filesystem scan still left the root partition read-only. I tested a e2fsck from the command-line, and fsck (with the option set) does handle Ctrl+C properly (prints an Interrupted message and exits with a 0 return code) So it looks like sysvinit is incorrectly handling Ctrl+C. I assume it does something like this: Run the init script for root fsck in the background, and when Ctrl+C is hit, the script is terminated (along with fsck), and the root filesystem is left readonly. Let me know if I can provide any more info. David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
