I have a large hard disk partition. I would like to launch e2fsck on it so that i shall suspend its progress, be able to reboot and resume e2fsck from where it was suspended.

As far as i know, that is not possible.

Woudn't make sense, since data is going to be changed in the FS while rebooting on most systems (e.g. system logs)

    Nothing will change an unmounted FS at shutdown, and nothing will change it at startup either if it isn't mounted automatically.

  • Yeah, i do not want to mount it during e2fsck, so it is not changing.

  • The fsck type programs are written so that they are careful not to leave stuff in an inconsistent state if they should crash or killed, but that is a rather weak guarantee...
