All,If you don't want to run fsck on a ext3 partition at regular intervals or upon reboots, you can use the tune2fs command. For example, I have /dev/sdb8 mounted on /big which is 1 TB.
umount /big /sbin/tune2fs -c0 -i0 /dev/sdb8 mount /big Ideally, I do this before I put anything on the partition.When making a filesystem on large partitions, I also usually maximize the amount of space by eliminating the reserved portion of the filesystem for superuser:
/sbin/mkfs.ext3 -m0 -F /dev/sdb8 Man pages on tune2fs & mkfs.ext3 give additional details.As a CentOS user, I'm all in favor of easy fs options, that's the only reason I use ext3. Never had any noticeable performance issues.
