While I'm bugging the list about stuff... :-)<br><br><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>I'm not even going to get into the attitude of the author of ReiserFS.
<br>Lots has already been made of that in higher circles.<br><br>Now take a look at Ext3. It's well documented. Most of the tools for Ext2<br>work with it.</blockquote><div><br><br>Under SuSE with ReiserFS, I never see fsck run on boot. Under Debian with Ext3, I see fsck run every 30 boots. At first I though this was just because ReiserFS was a journaling file system; then I found out that Ext3 was too, and I was puzzled. I had been ready to switch to ReiserFS with Debian, just to not have to wait for fsck every 30 mounts; now I'm beginning to think that would be exactly the wrong thing to do.
<br><br>Not I'm thinking that its just that one set of developers has more confidence in their code than the other. What I'm seeing might have even more to do with the different distributions than the different file systems.
<br></div><br>Anybody want to explain whether I'm right about this? Is disabling the automatic fsck runs a sane thing to do, as long as I have a journaling filesystem? (We're not talking about a server or anything here; just my desktop systems.)
