"errors=remount-ro" auto fsck, then remount-rw possible?
 
There's a nice little article here about protecting your partitions:
http://www.fry-it.com/at/reliable-jo...ystem-in-linux

Here is my fstab:
Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>  <type>  <options>      <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc          proc    defaults        0      0
/dev/hda3      /              ext3    noatime,errors=remount-ro 0      1
/dev/hdc        /media/cd-rw    udf,iso9660 user,noauto    0      0
/dev/hdd        /media/dvd      udf,iso9660 user,noauto    0      0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy  auto    user,noauto    0      0
/dev/hda6      /home          ext3    noatime,errors=remount-ro 0      2
/dev/hda5      /home/a/nobak  ext3    noatime,errors=remount-ro 0      2
#/dev/hda7      swap            swap    defaults        0      0
/dev/hda8      swap            swap    defaults        0      0

It makes sense to have your partitions remount as read-only after errors are detected, but then what? I didn't find out that anything was wrong until Firefox started locking up. Now after a good solid 37 days uptime, I was forced to reboot. <<shudder>>

Is there a way to have devices automatically fsck'd and remounted-rw? (Instead of staying read-only and having me find out later when my programs start freaking out?)
