In mid-September I purchased a new box (i3 core, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB harddisk) with Ubuntu 11.04 preinstalled.
I currently have it configured so it will automatically boot from the harddisk (though by hitting F3 I would have the option to boot from a CD or from an external USB stick or disk)
Every time I start the machine (with an introductory Foxconn screen displaying for a good 30 sec. before booting) Ubuntu invariably launches the harddisk checking procedure.
With earlier versions of (K)ubuntu, on prior boxes, this would happen only every 30 boot-ups, which seemed fairly reasonable.
Is there a way to tell Ubuntu to space out the automatic harddisk checks?
Thanks for helping.
