how to bypass fsck at reboot
I have a server that said a volume was dirty and to check it at reboot, so someone did a shutdown -rF now. only problem is the other volumes are HUGE and it will take forever, which i cant have happen. the volume with the trouble is non-critical so i could take it ofline and check it that way if i can get this to boot quickly. how can i do that if its going to auto check every volume on reboot now? :'(

to disable fsck check just set 0 to pass-num option in /etc/fstab
example: /etc/fstab # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/sda1 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/sda5 /home ext3 defaults 0 0 the above example shows that / (/dev/sda1) will be checked if you reboot but /home (/dev/sda5) won't. i hope i've helped you |
Thanks Rafael. what i ended up doing is when the graphical menu came up at reboot that says i have 3 seconds to hit a key, i hit a key, then edited the line in there by added fastboot to the end of it. I forgot to mention the system was already restarted so i couldn't get into fstab in my original post.
