Subject: [gentoo-embedded] embedded ext2 and fsck
Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2010 10:16:38 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <91FA647A1A781F41BBB0359765C90C15FD5028@mailsvr.orion-sys.com> (raw)

G'day,

My embedded environment is evolving.  The Disk-On-Module currently has
the following partitions:
	/dev/hda2 - /	- root (ext2)
	/dev/hda1 - /boot	- syslinux boot partition (FAT16)
	/dev/hda3 - /var	- ext2, rw

The system has a 486 and is running kernel 2.6.29.6.

Over the past month I've encountered numerous "Stale NFS file handle"
errors.  The device isn't networked and there's no apparent reason for
them (as best I can tell).

How important is running fsck in an embedded ext2 environment?

I'm considering 
	1) "fsck -C -T -a" on every boot
	2) letting fsck run according to the tune2fs count
	3) using "tune2fs -C 0" to disable checking totally

When do y'all do and recommend?

Thanks.

David
