A little while ago there was a discussion here about fsck running at boot, and the program AutoFsck. The author of AutoFsck just contacted me and asked me what his next step should be. I don't have any official standing in the Ubuntu dev community, so I'm just going to forward his message out here in the hopes that it will get opened up for a more comprehensive discussion. Evan PS I also sent him a link to join this list, so hopefully he'll be able to contribute to the discussion. <div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jonathan Musther <<a href="mailto:jmusther@gmail.com">jmusther@gmail.com</a>> Date: Dec 19, 2007 3:35 PM Subject: regular fsck runs are too disturbing To: <a href="mailto:eapache@gmail.com">eapache@gmail.com </a> Hi Evan; I just found the recent discussion of fsck runs on boot at: <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com/msg02508.html" target="_blank">http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com/msg02508.html </a> I am the author of AutoFsck, and have been trying to get somebody in a position to do something on a distribution level, interested. The user interest in AutoFsck has been huge, unfortunately I don't have any figures as it's primarily hosted on the Ubuntu wiki. Anyway, the blueprint is at: <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/prompt-for-fsck-on-shutdown" target="_blank">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/prompt-for-fsck-on-shutdown </a> but so far, the problem of running fsck on boot doesn't seem to be taken seriously, which is why I was glad to see the discussion on the mailing list. So, I'm wondering where we can go from here, what can we do next.
