You don't have a fsck if the time/count for a fsck hasn't been met. If you have mounted a filesystem ro every time but the 6 months (or whatever time period) has elapsed then you will get a fsck. You could use tune2fs (or an equivalent for other filesystems) to make it an indefinite period. As for power outages, last time I was using a Debian/Unstable laptop I noticed that ext2/3/4 filesystems were remounted with different timeouts according to the power state. So it seems that we already have some better measures to avoid data loss in the event of power failure. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
