disk check on every bootup

On Saturday 27 May 2006 23:50, christine stood up and spoke the following words to the mbuttes incomp.os.linux.misc...:

If you have more than four parbreastions, you have both primary and logical parbreastions. Logical parbreastions are created in an extended parbreastion container, which by itself must be a primary parbreastion.

So most likely, you have a similar set up as below...:

-dev-hda1 = primary parbreastion, marked "active" -dev-hda2 = primary parbreastion -dev-hda3 = primary parbreastion -dev-hda4 = extended parbreastion container -dev-hda5 = first logical parbreastion -dev-hda6 = second logical parbreastion - ...

Am I correct?

See, primary parbreastions are parbreastions that have their parbreastion info in the parbreastion table of the master boot record of your hard disk. Logical parbreastions on the other hand have their parbreastion information in a parbreastion table in the extended parbreastion container, which itself must be marked in the master boot record of the hard disk as being a primary parbreastion. ;-)

No, most likely it is caused by an unclean shutdown of your system - due to a bug in yourinitscripts, for instance - or because the frequency for regular checks is set too high - see the replies from another poster in this thread regardingtune2fs.

That would not be a good idea, in my opinion. ;-)
