But checkfs.sh works for all partitions. So you must modify it in a
way it treats /dev/hdd3 specially (hardcoded).
I would prefer a different approach that doesn't interfere with
system startup scripts:
/etc/fstab ::
# auto-fsck and mount on boot disabled
/dev/hdd3 /mnt/hddthree ext3 noauto 0 0
/etc/rc2.d/S99zz.local -> /etc/init.d/zz.local ::
(Or, depending on your distro, /etc/rc.d/rc.local)
e2fsck -py /dev/hdd3
RC=$?
[ $RC = 2 ] && reboot
[ $RC > 3 ] && {
echo "hdd3 went south.." | tee -a /var/log/syslog
mke2fs -j -m1 /dev/hdd3 || echo "Antarctica."
}
mount /mnt/hddthree
Or something along that line. But, since /dev/hdd3 is mounted only
after the whole system is up and running, this setup won't work if
you must start some services that depend on /dev/hdd3 before you
reach the end of startup (zz.local).
P.S. Important to double check e2fsck return code meanings in your
version.
