[SOLVED] where to add fsck.mode=force and fsck.repair=yes

I stumbled on this article while reading some RPI stuff.

https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/0...ilesystem.html

It occurred to me every time the power goes out (which is infrequent here, thankfully) I need to:
-power off my Odroid HC-4
-remove the micro sd
-run the following from another pc on the sdcard

Code:

fsck.ext4

-reinsert and power back up.

[I'm using the hc-4 headless and as a backup server with slarm64]

It occured to me maybe I should append these CMDLINE options:

Code:

append fsck.mode=force fsck.repair=yes

Two questions:
1. For this setup they go here: /boot/uEnv.txt right?
2. Do you think this is a good idea/will help?

yes in uEnv.txt with parameter:

Code:

extraargs=fsck.mode=force fsck.repair=yes

also you can customize ext4

This would then occur with every boot? no harm in doing so?

yes, for every booting, it shouldn't.
