Never. Routine fscking is unnecessary on XFS. The only time you should be looking at xfs_repair is when xfs_check reports an inconsistency. The recommendation for scheduling xfs_check is never. You run it when you have reason to suspect file system inconsistency -- that is, it behaves incorrectly. Red Hat made a most excellent choice with XFS for RHEL 7. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
