File check at boot
Hi,
Mail from desperate user here:
OS: Debian 8.1 Jessie
Scenario: Mail/web server with file corruption. I have I/O errors on a
few blocks which results in regular (daily) server crashes (including
kernel panic) at random times during the day, usually afternoon CET. I
need to run fsck on the disks. I have grub2 installed on the server.
Catch: For some reason there is only one partition - yes I know this
is retarded.
Catch2: This is on virtual hosting provider so I can access the server
through ssh or vnc but not physically
How can I run fsck at boot time while the disks are umounted. Adding
single to the grub linux kernel line fails to actually run fsck as the
disk is mounted when server goes into rescue mode.
I've Googled and (among other suggestions) read about the systemd fsck
service but am not sure this will help or really how to invoke the
thing properly
Adding init=/bin/systemd fsck.mode=force fsck.repair=yes didn't seem
to do much.
Desperate for suggestions.
