[TriLUG] fsck script?

[Byarlay, Wayne A.]

Yeah, I could unmount it because it's not / and I'll probably script
something to run every 30 days to unmount it, fsck it, and bring it back
up again.

matt's right, it's tune2fs:

tune2fs -i 60d -c 0
wouls force a fsck on the first reboot every 60 days in stead of every
30 mounts.
and my suggestion to do it manually only works on filesystems you can
unmount of course...
but at least the esc key will get you out of trouble if you need to
cancel one

En liever d' eerste Vorst in eenigh laeger hof,
Dan in 't gezalight licht de tweede, of noch een minder
Zoo troost ick my de kans, en vrees nu leet noch hinder."
