I'm running OpenVZ, and occasionally need to power cycle my host. Of course, it has to fsck every time it comes back up (ext4) Is there a way to run OpenVZ on a filesystem that doesn't have to fsck in order to reduce downtime? (AFAIK xfs is not supported yet) Thanks!

  • Are you power cycling it without shutting down the OS, letting the filesystem unmount cleanly? It shouldn't be checking every boot if it's getting clean shutdowns.

  • Sometimes machines will just lock up, it's unavoidable.

  • So you need a filesystem that writes through? In every other constellation your FS had to be checkd.

  • I need a filesystem that doesn't need to fsck, or that can fsck while mounted and works with OpenVZ.

  • Machines hardly ever lock up. Locking up is frequently avoidable.

even tough it's not really recomanded if you have several partitions , you could just unmount them and mount again after restart - this will prevent fsck to be used . This could bring some issues after a long time :) .
