Re: unchecked 31 times



Hi

That's not really a problem. The system does run the check programs
(e2fsck etc.) on every startup. These programs mainly check, if the
partition was umounted correctly. If there was a correct umount they
increase the mount counter, if not they check the full prtition and reset
the counter to 0. If the partition was mounted coorectly a fixed amount
(in the normal case 31 / ~ month), the programs force a check, and reset
the counter to 0.

I think all Linux distributions do something like that and don't enforce a
full check on bootup. So no problem with "unchecked" partitions.
