What filesystem for no-halt boot?
I use ext3 for all my servers, and I have no problem with it.
Except for one thing: Every now and again, you need to run e2fsck -y
after a power failure or such.
Now one of my servers (little P1) is quite a drive from me and stuck
behind a cabinet. It gets rebooted quite a lot. And I had to drive out
today just to come run e2fsck. UPS is not an option, neither is a server
room.
Is there a filesystem (XFS, Reiser?) that will always boot up without
user intervention? I thought the journalling of ext3 would do it?
If I read S10checkroot.sh correctly, if I specify an environment value
of FSCKFIX=yes on LILO boot line it would run this for me. I'll be doing
that for now, and hoping everything goes fine.
