fsck on boot.

[fvey]

Is it normal for Retropie to perform a fsck on boot or am I dealing with corruption on my sd cards? Tried two different cards on a Raspi 3 and downloaded the img twice.

Cheers.

@fvey on first boot yes to correct a date stamp. Fsck is run on every boot, but will do a quick repair on first.

@BuZz is this new in RP 4? I don't recall seeing this unless I've forced a check (by using touch /forcefsck). I've installed various versions of Raspbian over the years, but I don't generally use the RetrtoPie images.

@RetroResolution not new. Maybe not noticed before as more console output etc.

@BuZz thanks, good to know. I had noticed fsck in the boot output, but not seen it run a full check (as per forcing a check).

The check on initial is a quick fix rather than a full fs check due to the fact the rpi has not rtc/correct time, so the fs date is in the future (as it was created on a machine that does have the right time). Once it has been corrected to the rp datestamp, it carries on as normal. fsck runs on every boot, but only will do check if needed or forced (as you mentioned earlier)

@BuZz thanks for the insight - much appreciated

I have RetroPie 4.8. I cloned it from 32Gb SD Card to 128Gb SD Card (using dd). Checked sha512sum of the partitions (original and cloned). Then I resized retropie partition using Gparted (I know that there is build-in feature in raspi-config to expand the filesystem, but I wanted to use not all available space). When I booted from that 128Gb SD Card, there was fsck check of retropie partition (previously I cloned SD Card without expanding the partition and there wasn't fsck check).

Is it normal to have fsck check after resizing of retropie partition?
