No. /forcefsck is looked for during the boot process to force the system to fsck all filesystems before it mounts them. The system deletes /forcefsck when it's done fscking. > 4) Deactivate all further checks as they are no longer needed: > tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/hda2 Wrong. Periodic filesystem checking is always a good idea, just because you have a journal, no matter how good, still isn't 100% bulletproof. Just for thinking otherwise, do not pass go, do not collect $200 and go back up your filesystem. 8:o) You can never be too safe with your data. -- .''`.
