how to stop dosfsck at each boot-up
|
|
|
| since installing debian, every time I re-boot, dosfsck runs.
to say the least, this can really take some time to complete on a
120Gig drive.
what can I do to stop this?

Do you really mean dosfsck, as opposed to fsck on your Debian
partition(s)? If so, look in /etc/fstab, specifically at the number in
the last column. Change that to 0 if you don't want the partition to be
checked on each reboot. If you are referring to the Debian partitions,
and you are not in the habit of switching off the power without shutting
down, you can use tune2fs (or another tune*fs if the filesystem is not
ext2 or ext3). If you have an ext2 filesystem, you might consider
changing it to ext3 with "tune2fs -j".

Bill certainly hit the nail on the head -- but you gave no info about
your setup ...like the output of
$ cat /etc/fstab
Thanks Bill -- I learned something today -- I also reviewed ' man fstab
'
