My Milan hasn't done a boot hd check in ages, I wonder if I broke the config
in some way ? There are quite a few ways to break it.


fstab looks ok:

c  /  dos   root  wheel 700
d  /  dos   root  wheel 700
e  /  dos   root  wheel 700
f  /  dos   root  wheel 700
g  /  dos   root  wheel 700
h  /  ext2  root  wheel 777
i  /  dos   root  wheel 700
j  /  dos   root  wheel 700
k  /  dos   root  wheel 700
l  /  dos   root  wheel 700
m  /  dos   root  wheel 700
n  /  ext2  root  wheel 777


mint.cnf
# Filesystemcheck (mandatory)
exec u:\c\mint\bin\sh u:\c\mint\bin\fscheck.sh
echo

- snip

INIT=u:\sbin\init              # this executes script /etc/rc.d/rc


rc hasn't changed since 2009


Any suggestions ?
