fsck -p is done by default (meaning, filesystems are not fully scanned if they are marked clean). If pruning fails, background_fsck is checked, which will work on UFS systems with soft updates, but is not recommended by many as it may leave some errors unchecked. If background_fsck is set to NO, things will stop and operator intervention is required, unless one has set fsck_y_enable. All this logic is implemented in /etc/rc.d/fsck. The rc.conf(5) manpage and related rc(8), rcorder(8) and rc.subr(8) are a good read when migrating. -- Mel _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
