Warning on mounting partitions: automate e2fsck?
The system I'm typing this on gets rebooted daily. (Yes, yes, I know
that's bad, but my landlord doesn't like my leaving the system on when
I'm not home.) After foo number of mounts, the boot process
automatically runs e2fsck on the root partition. However, I mount
several other partitions automatically via fstab, and on those I will
after foo number of mounts get a warning that the drive should be
checked. However, it's a pain to switch to runlevel 1 and manually
check all those partitions.
Why should I have to? Why can't the same process (init?) that
autochecks the root partition, just automatically check the others
instead of warning me?
I have only vague knowledge of what happens when a Debian system
bootstraps, so please make any answers fairly basic.
Thank you.
