disc scaning for windows partition

[narayanan.v]

Hi,
During the boot up system is doing check disc option with dosfsck for windows partition, which i feel not required. So any one can help to remove that disck checking process during booting.

Regards

Re: disc scaning for windows partition

In the /etc/fstab file, do you have something like this:

dev/hda6 /media/fat/e vfat umask=000,uid=0,gid=0,auto,rw,nouser 0 1

or

dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,uid=0,gid=46,auto,ro,u ser 0 1

From /1/

The 6th column is a fsck option. fsck looks at the number in the 6th column to determine in which order the filesystems should be checked. If it's zero, fsck won't check the filesystem.

Change 1 (or 2, 3, 4,...) to 0 (=never). Remember backup !
