avoid fsck @ boot


I am wondering if it is possibly to aviod having a forced check every n'th boot.

The reason for this, is that I am running this particular box with no keyboard or monitor and if I happen to get the old "Give root password for maintenance --- run fsck manually" then I'm buggered.

Or is it possible to have network services started, so that if this does happen after runing fsck then I can do the work required via telnet?

All comments appreciated...

Which file system are you running? If its ext2/3 then it seems that tune2fs will let you change it. Take a look at the man page, there are a few too many options to post!

cheers

Jamie...
