Check `ext` partition disk at the start #58

How can I scan the usb-connected disk when the modem is rebooted?

core setup
personal instr
Type Personal RunLevel Boot Stage Startup Command here: /usr/sbin/rc_app/rc_e2fsck start /dev/sda1
add runlevel startup
Type Personal RunLevel Boot Stage Startup Command here:
/usr/sbin/rc_app/rc_usb_service reconfig
add runlevel startup

supposing /dev/sda1 the usb disk device

forgot to remember that e2fsck doesn't fork to the background (even if this should not affect the machine boot stage effectively) and that a restart of the device could be recommended at the end so a usb device reconfig cmd should be added (see above)

Thank you! You are super!

reopened this issue because It was wrongly related to an ntfs disk device while e2fsck is ext2/3/4 fs related only

to monitor an ntfs disk health enable smartd (smartmontools) otherwise to check an ntfs partition there is ntfsfix ( https://www.tuxera.com/community/open-source-ntfs-3g/ ) included into ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs package
