    Impossible to schedule fsck at startup

    Hi at all,

    I'm running ubuntu oneiric on embedded ARM system and I'm trying to schedule fsck at startup.
    I tried without success:
    Code:
     - touch /forcefsck
             - vim /etc/default/rcS
                ....
                FSCKFIX=yes
                ....
             - add the following bootargs option: fsck.mode=force
    But still I have the following warning:
    Code:
    warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recom
    mended
    Nobody know a way to check the root filesystem for errors without attach another root filesystem??

    Thanks,
    Any help it will be really appreciated

    Lot of good information in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=300477
    Including how to change the fsck frequency, discover the current fsck frequency, enable/disable fsck in /etc/fstab, etc.

    Check /etc/fstab.
    Is fsck enabled (1) in column 6 for the root partition?
    Is it properly disabled (0) for the swap partition?

    Check grub.
    Is grub using the "fastboot" option? That will prevent fsck.
