- Hello folks, I've been using XFS as my filesystem of choice for many, many years now and for all the years of, er, joy, I have encountered a few difficulties with filesystem recovery after machine cr

- Well step back a bit, fsck.xfs exists simply to satisfy the initial boot scripts that invokes fsck -t $fs_type. The reason fsck.xfs does nothing and should continue to do nothing is that by the time

- Hi Russell (and others reading), and thanks for your reply. Now that's an interesting point; I hadn't seen it quite like that before. It's now very clear to me that there's a semantic inconsistency b

- Most Linux file systems are not very fault tolerant in this sense; e.g. on ext3 you have have to press return and accept lots of scary messages to get through fsck. -Andi -- ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Spe

- Perhaps, but anecdotally/subjectively I've never had a ext3 based system fail to boot because I turned it off and on again. I've had this happen with xfs root filesystems about 15 times over the past

- I propose firstly that that behaviour should be configurable by per filesystem tuning, making it possible to set a root filesystem to default to norecovery on a read-only mount. Then non-initrd mount

- Traditional thinking with a journaled filesystem has been that if there is a dirty log then you do not want to risk mounting the filesystem in an inconsistent state an thereby risking a system crash

- Although I don't think you're doing anything more dangerous than mounting a non-fsck'd non-journaling filesystem read-only, which is the traditional unix boot method when you're not using initrd, I d
