2007-03-05 21:54:49 Mario Vukelic description I don't know which package to assign this bug to, and sorry if it has been reported before - I couldn't find a report. ext2/3 filesystems are regulary fsck'ed after a give number of boots if those filesystems are part of the fixed disks. However removable USB disks (I can only check for those, but I guess firewire at al. also share this) are never fsck'ed automatically. This might me dangerous because they are much more likely to be removed incorrectly (w/o unmounting) and are attached/reattached frequently. I just realized that my external disk was mounted hundreds of times without ever being checked (and am sure that despite trying to be responsible, I sometimes yanked the cable w/o unmounting) I don't know which package to assign this bug to, and sorry if it has been reported before - I couldn't find a report. ext2/3 filesystems are regulary fsck'ed after a given number of boots if those filesystems are part of the fixed disks.
