Hi, I run a series of remote boxes running Arch. These boxes are unnattended and are very difficult to access. Due to the nature of their power supply they are often powered down without any warning. A UPS is not an option. I have noticed that over time the boxes are showing file system errors and getting stuck during the boot phase requiring manual intervention (Either press Control-D to continue - resulting in failure or log in to the start up shell using the root password and run fsck manually). I simply answer yes to every prompt from fsck and the errors are resolved, the box reboots and runs fine. I need to be able to force an 'fsck -y' type command at every boot as visiting these boxes manually isn't an option. I have already moved the partitions to ext2 as this seemed to show a mild improvement and also set 0 1 flags in /etc/fstab but still I'm seeing the freezing on boot. First of all should I be re-partitioning my drives to something which can handle these kinds of sudden power outages or removing the swap space or something? Secondly can I have arch run a completely unprompted startup whereby fsck will do its best to repair the system without requiring intervention - for me a blank disk is no worse than a frozen system.
