Replace my sdxx with your actual root device/partition. Might be sda1, sda2, or etc.

I don’t know how to do that see I’m newbie to manjaro so …:frowning:

24

ok wait.

You can see a list of partitions with:

lsblk

or

cat /proc/partitions

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

At the end of ‘grub cmdline linux default’ add ‘console=tty3’

Save and exit nano or ur text editor

sudo update-grub

29

How to save?

You typed it wrong. It’s missing a “pipe” before grep

Should be like this:

sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda2 | grep -i “Last checked”

31

Ctrl+o then press enter then press ctrl+x

Okay, so let’s just see how everything is configured for sda2, and you can change the “fsck” intervals to something less frequent. This might also help your boot-up times.

sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda2

Forget the pipe or grep. Just make sure the text doesn’t get pasted in large font. :wink:

That’s a lowercase L in the command (as in “list”), not an upper-case i, by the way. On the forums, I and l look alike.

sda2, not sda

Sorry, it’s late over here. Very sleepy. I made a typo.

You’re saying you’ve seen a fsck on your root file system during bootup since that date/time?

I think so, well I see Everytime I boot.

Are you able to reboot now, and come back here and redo

sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda2

If the value for “Last checked” remains the same, it means you’re probably seeing something else during bootup.

By all accounts, according to tune2fs, it looks like automatic fsck has been disabled.
