From: Frank Mayhar To: util-linux@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Date: Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:05:33 -0800 Message-ID: <1328648733.11787.13.camel@peace.lax.corp.google.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Sender: util-linux-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: This set of patches adds functions that help improve fsck operation in large installations and when running in unattended or headless mode. It adds support for reporting rusage statistics for the individual fsck runs, for capturing fsck output, for killing fsck runs that take too long and for running scripts when each fsck completes. We're currently using these functions to improve our fsck monitoring capability and to replace some unwieldy and hard-to-maintain shell scripts. -- Frank Mayhar fmayhar@google.com
