Suggestion: Move Greyhole con jobs to cron.daily
Posted: Sat Dec 04, 2010 11:06 am
Hi,
Currently the Greyhole daily cron are only executed if the server is running at 0:00 am. To allow for servers that are powered down at midnight, I'd suggest to move daily fsck and restart cron jobs to from /etc/cron.d to /etc/cron.daily.
I've done it and it works, I guess it's a simple change to the installation procedure.
An advanced option could be to let the users select if fsck should run hourly or daily, ie. move it to /etc/cron.hourly or /etc/cron.daily.
Cheers,
