the fsck man page says " -y For some filesystem-specific checkers, the -y option will cause the fs-specific fsck to always attempt to fix any detected filesystem corruption automatically. Sometimes an expert may be able to do better driving the fsck manually. Note that not all filesystem-specific checkers implement this option. In particuā lar fsck.minix(8) and fsck.cramfs(8) does not support the -y option as of this writing."
that makes the benifit of manual checking seem pretty small. maybe the -y option could be add by default. Could a 'these files may have been damaged' list be given to the user at next log in? -- fsck not repairing corruption on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209416 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
