disc checks

[sanderella]

In previous releases of Ubuntu, I used to get an automatic disc check running every 30 times I logged into Ubuntu. This isn't happening now. Can anyone tell me why, please.

This isn't happening for me either, but you can run:

sudo touch /forcefsck

and reboot, & a file system check will run.

Thank you cottfcfan! Will try this.

[sanderella]

It worked. for you, sweetie.

You could also set your own required check interval using tune2fs with command

sudo tune2fs -c 30 /dev/sdx#

I have mine set for every 70 mounts and have done for many years now without a problem.

I have no idea why the regular check has been removed from the system; I have no doubt someone else will know why.
