I was investigating slow boot times and tried disabling fsck check for my disks (others than root). I changed contents of the file according to arch wiki, after which system didn’t boot. I tried changing fstab back with my installation medium, but it didn’t help
I got access to my files from home directory and thought I could reinstall system now, but installer doesn’t have an option to erase my SSD
That is not possible. Maybe you forgot to chroot?
Probably. How should I do that?
My bad actually you do not really need chroot for that.
Here is a reference how an fstab can look like with default options
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 2
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx none swap defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
No, my changes really didn’t save. I probably did something wrong.
Last digits in these disks entries are 0, that skips the file system check. To revert this change I set it to 2, but it didn’t save when i tried to reboot. Now these are zeros again
Have to note that my root is btrfs, arch wiki says that needs to be considered
no idea about btrfs, sorry, i do not use it.
Don’t know what I did wrong first time, but system has booted successfully
No, it doesn’t.
That is not what this means.
If the file system is unclean - it needs to be checked.
This “number” will neither allow or prevent this.
