Hi all,
Not sure if this posting should be here or in "software," but here goes.....
I have a question on fsck on Slack 10.0. By default fsck runs every 25 or so times I boot up, and that slows me down abit, but is probably a good idea. The thing is that I have two linux partitions (a separate /home partition) and the two don't get scanned at the same time. They got knocked out of sync or are on different schedules. Anyone know how I can make sure they get scanned at the same time, so I don't have to slo mo boot twice every 25 or so times?

Thanks,

If you are using the ext2 or ext3 file-system, you could use:
tune2fs -C <mount-count> on both partitions to manually set the number of times they have been mounted.

Seems simple enough
I'll do it.
Though they each have different max mount counts, so I'll have to fix that as well. man pages should help.

Thanks!

You can change the max-mount-count at the same time.
Reading through the man page would be a good idea anyway.

A couple tips may make reading man pages easier for you.

1) Enter either man:tune2fs or info:tune2fs in the konqueror browser will bring up a
web-page formated man page, with links on the bottom of the page for info files.

2) using the man -T option to produce a .ps or .dvi file you can view with ghostview or kdvi respectively. Example:

Cool. Thanks for the tips on man pages! I am just learning how to decode them after a few months slacking.....

To expand the man pages tip. You may have the topic.texi texinfo source files on your system. Since the source files are .tex files, you can produce a .dvi output by simply running tex on them.

example: tex coreutils.texi
will produce a coreutils.dvi file that you can read in kdvi or xdvi. For the most common and important commands and files ( files like fstab have there own entries ) you might want to print out the .dvi versions and put them in a three ring binder for reference.
