And then what happens when it fails the check? Sounds pretty messy to me. I say we look into fixing e2fsck to do online consistency checking without borking over changing filesystem contents. Don't other OS/FS combos do this well? -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
