[lug] fsck question

[gordongoldin at aim.com]

fsck question:

a) fsck seems to run way too fast to have really done a check.? Always worried about things that seem too easy? :-)
b) And it remembers the last name the partition was mounted as.? Just curious about that.

I have a 200gig drive with 140 gig of files.? It is ext2

I mounted it by hand as /dev/sdb1 /home1, no entry in fstab.

I umounted it, checked mtab to make sure, ran fsck:
cursor returned immediately - no difference if I specified ext2 or not - and it noted it had checked /home1

[root at jdialog home]# fsck -CV /dev/sdb1
fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
[/sbin/fsck.ext2 (1) -- /dev/sdb1] fsck.ext2 -C0 /dev/sdb1 
e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
/home1: clean, 1452367/24428544 files, 34242875/48839600 blocks
