Is there a way to configure 2.3U to do a file system check at boot time even if the previous shut-down was normal ? I know several systems will prompt you during boot as to wether or not to check file systems. Any ideas ? Thanks.

The first does the fsck of root, the second of other file systems. You can remove the tests and make them happen all the time, ask the users questions or whatever else you like. They're just shell scripts.

Just modify the startup script /etc/mountall, which does an fsstat to check the filesystem status and then does an fsck if necessary. John Sully
