Hi I have a question about startup scripts for BSD distributions. Can you turn
off the file system check that occurs every 30 boots, etc? I recall this being
the case on a BSD platform, although my Mac OS X doesn't (to my knowledge)
do a file system check that often at all.
Any info would be helpful...
Thanks
- Jared

UFS and UFS2 as found on *BSD have never required anything like that: they only need fsck'ing after an unclean shutdown. Cheers, Matthew - -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.

Not to my knowledge and I've been using FreeBSD since FreeBSD 4.0 I must have been blind if there is a fsck every 30 boots ;)> this being the case on a BSD platform, although my Mac OS X doesn't (tomy> knowledge) do a file system check that often at all. >What do you mean by "on a BSD platform". Since this is a FreeBSD mailinglist, I bet your questions is FreeBSD related. If it isn't, please be more precise.> Any info would be helpful... >thats true! *SCNR* regards, Marian

Can you turn off the file system check that occurs every 30 boots, etc?AFAIK FreeBSD doesn't do such scheduled checks at all. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
