> I am not so fond of those fsck and lost data we used to have on an occasional basis after an unexpected hard shutdown due to a power cut in the 90's.

Yup, still the case today.

Currently with an SSD, when there’s a power cut, there’s about a 20% chance my router will require me to walk downstairs and plug in a keyboard, type “fsck” manually and press y at all the prompts.

I haven’t actually had any issues with noticeable data loss though.

I’d settle for a default “boot anyway, press y for all fsck questions” mode on boot. I just don’t want to have to physically touch the thing.

Look up where fsck is run in /etc/rc and add the -y there.


It is a router, not a file server. Add the sync flag to fstab.
