Is there any chance that this would mess up an LVM setup?

What about using XFS instead of ext{2,3}? How do I make the fsck use a
xfs_repair instead of a xfs_check on startup?

You can stuff "-y" into /etc/fsckoptions or create
/etc/sysconfig/autofsck and add

AUTOFSCK_OPT="-y"

to it.

Not unless there is a significant bug somewhere.

Hi

I would tend to set a flag checked by a utility inserted in the run
level one startup. The script would then be able to accomplish the
whole thingl

Have Fun!

Is there anyway to automate the following (all from one script):

Boot to single-user mode (or whatever is required)
run fsck
reboot back to level 5 (or 3)

so that you can kick it off, go away,
come back an hour or so later and it'll
all be done (via IP)?

Er, a simple script:

#!/bin/bash
touch /.autofsck
reboot

will do it. The system looks for /.autofsck when it boots. If it finds
it, it fscks the filesystems, then deletes /.autofsck. Check the main
startup script "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit" for details.
