Re: How often should I fsck my ext3 partition?

Almost all data goes cached before going onto the disk. Your memory mal
malfunction also independently of your disk.

These are just *some* of a long list of reasons to check your disks with
some regularity. And being on the safe side is, of course, not a bad idea.

I didn't intend to stop fscking, just to tweak the rate a bit.

Another question: would filesystem errors be rsync'ed to my backups?
