Does adding it to /etc/sysconfig/init help in this case? *** Bug 680487 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This should be accomplished by adding: FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL=1 export FSCK_FORCE_ALL_PARALLEL to /etc/sysconfig/init. Given that it can be accomplished with configuration, closing. |
2. What is the nature and description of the request? Add the capability to do multiple fsck simultaneously during boot. 3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here) Reduce the outage time when a system is rebooted and fsck is run on all file systems. With high performance disk systems, file system checks may run in parallel and be controlled with the "fsck pass number" in /etc/fstab. Without this change, fsck will not check multiple file systems that appear to be on the same disks even if the disk system can handle it. 4. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here) The fsck program already has the capability to check multiple file systems in parallel, but this is controlled by defining environment variables. Setting those variables so they affect /etc/rc.sysinit is accomplished by adding them to /etc/sysconfig/network. They don't belong there... Without the change, fsck cannot be used to its full potential and outage time is extended unnecessarily. Customer already has script that works. 5. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat bugzilla? No 6. How quickly does this need resolved? (desired target release) RHEL 5.7 7. Does this request meet the RHEL Inclusion criteria (please review) Yes. 8. List the affected packages initscripts 9. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented? Yes
