Hi,
Nearly all Ubuntu users know, that every 30 boots their system performs what is know as an "fsck" to make sure your hard drive has no errors.
If you go through periods of frequent rebooting, these checks can become annoying.
To change how often these boot up checks occur, run this command in a terminal:
Code:
sudo tune2fs -c 50 /dev/hda1
The two things in bold can be modified.
First, the number "50", which chooses how often you want the check performed. 1 makes it scan at every boot, 0 stops scanning altogether, and all other numbers mean the scan will be performed every ** boots, 20 for 20, 30 for 30, 40 for 40 and so on.
Next, the "hda1" which you simply change to match the location of your hard drive, be it hda1,2,3 or even sda1,2,3.
Setting the scan to never happen isn't recommended, I'd say between 50-100 is safe.
