However, I thought it was a good enough suggestion to warrant a post here allowing others to comment, and potentially so it doesn't get forgotten.
What I would like is for there to be an automatic (ie forced) fsck done when GentooX boots, fixing up any errors found. The fsck is only needed if the xbox is shutdown improperly (eg by accidentally pressing the power button). So shutting down via halt/reboot scripts etc would not cause auto-fsck to be invoked.
How would it work? The following is a wild guess:
I thought that Gentoox loader (bios?) could check for the presence of a flag/file when starting, and if so do a pass over the filesystem fixing things up, before rebooting into Gentoox proper. The loader would then set the flag for the next time. The normal reboot/halt scripts would reset this flag removing the need for a forced fsck during the next boot.
It would probably be desirable to allow this feature to be enabled or disabled during initial setup, and subsequently too.
Obviously this is not a do-in-half-an-hour feature.... so feel free to come up with better ways.
Thoughts?
