[Q] ext3 filesystem - Is it safe to disable fsck-on-boot?
Is it safe/common practice to disable the mount/time fsck check on ext3 filesystems? I guess I know the answer to the "safe" part; when are you ever safe right? I guess the "common practice" question is more viable in my case. I have a customer that is wanting to do this via the following:
tune2fs -i 0 -c 0 /dev/sd<part>
If it is a common practice, do y'all schedule fscks at regular interval? If I was to schedule fscks by rebooting after touching /forcefsck, does the sixth field in fstab need to be non-zero for the fsck to happen? And if the fsck column in fstab is non-zero, would the fsck still happen or does the tune2fs parameter take precedence?
