It is possible to disable forced periodic checking of the filesystem using tune2fs. You will need to know the device name of the partition on which your root (/) filesystem resides. The following command would be for a filesystem on '/dev/hda1': sudo tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/hda1 Setting these filesystem parameters thus makes Bonager superfluous as the forced periodic check of ext3 filesystems is superfluous anyway. Since the default filesystem for Ubuntu is ext3, a journaled filesystem, it does not require the forced periodic checking as would be desirable with ext2 (ext3’s non-journaled predecessor). It is possible to disable forced periodic checking of the filesystem using tune2fs. You will need to know the device name of the partition on which your root (/) filesystem resides. The following command would be for a filesystem on ‘/dev/hda1′:

sudo tune2fs -c 0 -i 0 /dev/hda1

Setting these filesystem parameters thus makes Bonager superfluous as the forced periodic check of ext3 filesystems is superfluous anyway.
