Hi, I make the tests of fsck with raid-soft 2x18Go raid-1. We crash the server to see how much time does fsck take (power down) :)
- with standard /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit of redhat 6.2 it takes 1h30 (with lot of inodes)
- i modified the options of fsck and erased -a. In place I put -y The fsck takes 8 minutes with log of inodes (more inodes ;) ).
3 questions: - what is the difference between -a et -y ? man gives: -a Automatically repair the file system without any questions (use this option with caution). Note that e2fsck(8) supports -a for backwards compatibility only. This option is mapped to e2fsck's -p option which is safe to use, unlike the -a option that most file system checkers support.
and -y does not repair automatically ?
- what is it so long with -a ? - is it safe solution ?
Thanks for help
