<PRE>I have just discovered that on Debian, one can force the system to run &quot;fsck -y&quot; on bootup, to make it automatically fix errors whether they require human intervention or not, by setting &quot;FSCKFIX=yes&quot; in /etc/default/rcS&quot;.
I have also discovered that something similar is possible for Mandriva and Mageia, by activting &quot;AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK=yes&quot; in /etc/sysconfig/autofsck.
Will this setting also force fsck to run with the &quot;-y&quot; option?

The purpose of this change is to make selected systems so the administrator does /Not/ have to manually fix the filesystems. Some of these systems are at friends and family who religiously refuse to deal with the command line. They prefer that I drive an hour to their places and fix it. My brother learned to use a shellscript I created, that ran &quot;fsck -y&quot;. But he's the exception.
I also have a server that I'd like to behave this way, so I don't have to attach a monitor and a keyboard each time it fails to boot up, because it wants me to &quot;hold it's hand&quot; in fixing it.
