Ever wondered how to schedule an automatic file system check on the next reboot of your linux server? This is how you do it.

Following the information given by everflux create a forcefsck file in your root directory:

 touch /forcefsck

And if you have a hetzner server, please be advised that this work only if you have changed your pass statements for the relevant partitions from 0 to 1 (root partition) or 2 (other). Otherwise, your request for a filesystem check will be ignored.

PS: Personal note, of course 🙂
