X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 12 Jun 2005 03:16:36 -0000 Is there an option that I can add to fstab (or some way of doing it?) that, when a server reboots, it will 'ignore' that file system, but I can still do a 'mount /fs' after the fact? I have remote servers that I'd like to manually fsck one of the file systems after it comes up, but I don't have a serial console enabled on them (yet!) ... so, i'd like it to ignore that one file system on reboot, but still have it listed in /etc/fstab ... Setting 'passno' to 0, I believe, will cause it to fail to boot due to an unclean file system, so that doesn't appear to be an option ... Is that possible? Thanks ... ---- Marc G.
