Rather than using ext3, I think the "quick" answer he wanted was to use something like this: /sbin/fsck -a -t ext2 /dev/<drive> where fsck -a requires no manual y/n confirmation. If that runs everytime he boots (replacing any existing fsck commands), and assuming there's no major problems with the filesystem, he'll be ok. Note that fsck -a maps to e2fsck -p === Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2002 08:29:47 -0800 From: Don Marti <dmarti@zgp.org> To: Svlug <svlug@svlug.org> Subject: Re: [svlug] fsck begin Jay Link quotation of Sat, Jan 19, 2002 at 06:58:10AM -0600: > /sbin/fsck -a -t ext2 /dev/<drive> And of course mount everything you can as read-only. ===
