Disable Auto FileSystem Check on SLES

On SLES, the sytem performs an auto check on the file systems by default. This can be very annoying when performing an emergency reboot on a production system. This behavior is adjusted for SLES 11 but as far as I am concerned I'd still check the setting.

Devices

The setting is set on a device, which can be checked using the simple command fdisk:

fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 12.9 GB, 12884901888 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1566 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000988d6

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1         191     1534176   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda2   *         192        1566    11044687+  83  Linux

Settings

You can check the file system properties for each device using the tun2fs command:

# tune2fs -l /dev/sda2
....cut...
Maximum mount count:      500
Last checked:             Wed Aug  4 15:44:42 2010
Check interval:           5184000 (2 months)
Next check after:         Sun Oct  3 15:44:42 2010
...cut...

And change them using the same command:

# tune2fs -c0 -i0 /dev/sda2
tune2fs 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
Setting maximal mount count to -1
Setting interval between checks to 0 seconds

Setting explanation:

  • -c max_mounts_count
  • -i interval[d|m|w]

Now the settings look like this if you would issue tune2fs -l <device> again:

Maximum mount count:      -1
Last checked:             Wed Aug  4 15:44:03 2010
Check interval:           0 (<none>)
