Automatic FSCK upon unclean shutdown
« on: June 16, 2010, 02:36:18 AM »
Some time ago we had installed a contribution the forced SME to automatically run FSCK any time the server was shutdown uncleanly (someone pushed the power button, pulled the power cord, etc.) which we lost when we recently had a server crash. I can't seem to find it listed in the contribs section (http://wiki.contribs.org/Category:Contrib) and I was wondering if this is now included as a part of SME 7.5 or do I need to tell Software Installer to enable installation of additional software and try to find it in that long list of available packages (autofs.i386 1:4.1.3-238 - base and autofs5.i386 1:5.0.1-0.rc2.106.el4_ - updates seem like they might possibly be right)?

No, autofs is not what you are looking for.

I kind of wondered since the name seemed close. It would be nice if the additional software list would pop up a description of what the software does when you click on the package name in the list. Most of the items in the list don't have names that make it obvious what they do. If anyone can point me to where to get the Auto FSCK contribution again or else let me know if it is now a standard part of SME 7.5 I would appreciate it.

Also, have you seen http://wiki.contribs.org/Category:Categorisation which at least groups contribs and howtos into categorised lists
