Greetings, the subject says it all.
When the number of boots has excceded the set value for a
partition, and this forces an e2fsck run, it works fine for
/dev/hda based partitions, but runs totally silent for /dev/hdd
based partitions.
I'd like to see if I can fix that so I don't think the machine is
locked while its doing that and all screen output ceases for the
5+ minutes it takes to check a 180GB partition.
It's /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
e2fsck decides for itself if it needs to do the check; that's not
done by the script.

No wonder I couldn't find it Paul. You can grep for e2fsck in
rc.sysinit, and never come up with the actual command line that does
that. Is e2fsck itself a binary or a script that could be easily
fixed?
e2fsck is a binary, and it's called from fsck for ext2/3 filesystems.
Which filesystems do you have on /dev/hdd ?
Does putting:
-V
in /fsckoptions help?
Paul.
