Hi all!


I have a question on fsck.ext2:

How does it know if the filesystem is clean or not?

I guess htere is some kind of "clean flag". Who sets this flag to
"clean" and when does this flag get set?

What happens at a "sync"? Is the filesystem marked as "clean" after a
sync or not?

Or is it only marked as clean upon a shutdown?

Cheers, Ingo =;->
