Forcing fsck on / at boot?? wise?? possible??

[Jammin1984]

I have noticed at boot my partions for /home etc etc are checked, / is not.

Im usuing resierfs, and am rather clueless about it.

Is this possible??

If so, is it wise?

What do you mean if its wise? I am sure you can always check it yourself using the fsck tools?

I get this when I try:

root@Jupiter:~# fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda2
reiserfsck 3.6.18 (2003 www.namesys.com)

You could run fsck on boot, but you really don't need it with Reiser. All it would do is make boot take longer. To do it, just change the last field in /etc/fstab for the partition from 0 to a 1 (for /) or a 2 (for other partitions). See man page for fstab to learn more about it.
