Ubuntu’s forced file check

October 5th, 2007

I was going to make a post about what I thought it would be a good way to solve this problem, but looks like that way already exists (how silly of me to think nobody would’ve tried and search for a solution for this problem before).

I read about it here and I just won’t install it right now on my laptop because I haven’t been using it as a laptop anymore (because of the cracks) and it just sits here always on, so it wouldn’t be that much useful to me right now. Maybe when I finally get a new laptop.

So I started doing some more research about this subject and ended up finding two bug reports about it (here and here) and the AutoFsck official website is even located on the Ubuntu wiki. It’s author wants to promote it’s inclusion on Ubuntu 8.04, so here I am showing my support to the project and hoping it really gets included on Ubuntu some time soon.
