Are ext4 file system checks disabled by default on 14.0?
I have installed Slackware 14.0 on three different systems and if I run tune2fs -l /dev/sdx "Maximum mount count" = -1 and "Check interval" = 0. According to man tune2fs this means that both mount count and time based file system checking is disabled, it also gives warnings about disabling these features.
It is easy to fix this using tune2fs but is this correct, a bug or something I have done during install? |
I suspect you or somebody else once upon a time made those changes, but I don't imitate Columbo very well. :)

I noticed the same thing a couple days ago on the new ext3 partitions (/, /usr) I created during the 14.0 install.
Code:
tune2fs -l /dev/sdb1 |
It's a change made upstream.

Ahhh...now I understand although the patch comments don't seem to match those in man tune2fs which suggests that relying on the kernel to detect file system errors may lead to data loss:

I think I'll re-enable in /etc/mk2fs.conf just to be safe. A big thank you to all who replied:hattip: |
