Perhaps you would like to lower it when your disk goes old. Did you know "SmartMontTools"? regards,
A related question is how to do it without taking the machine down
uncleanly or fiddling an arcane file somewhere. I've thought about
perhaps doing...
$ mount -o remount -o ro /dev/hda5
$ fsck /dev/hda5
$ mount -o remount -o rw /dev/hda5
(I have /dev/hda5 mounted as / on my machine.) Is there any
exposure in this? I'm pretty leery of running fsck on a
r/w file system.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
