Does fsck work for anyone else?

[blackjackel]

Every time disk needs to be checked I get this error:

/dev/sda1 has been mounted 21 times without being checked, check forced. /dev/sda1: Error allocating icount structure: Memory allocation failed e2fsck: aborted

Then I have to run fsck using my linux boot usb stick, has anyone had luck with the built in fsck working (and completing) sucessfully?

Those routers don't have enough memory to run fsck on a large filesystem.

I use a different version of the fsck tools on my FW, but I never really tested them either with a large hard disk - I only use flash drives on my routers.

Ah, i'm running it on a 4TB drive, this explains it!

Is there a way to disable disk checks after a specific amount of mounts? I'm doing some tests on the router and rebooting it a bunch of times, and i have to do this disk scan almost every day because of this.

Wave you found a way to disable check after N mounts?

Please count me on those interested by an answer on that point...

I currently don't have an ext format disk attached to test it, but you can try

tune2fs -c 0 /dev/sda1

Verified the tune2fs binary is installed on my 374 base fork code, so hopefully will also be on the later levels.
