I would like to propose
echo AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK=yes >> /etc/sysconfig/autofsck
echo 'AUTOFSCK_OPT="-y"' >> /etc/sysconfig/autofsck
Working with a local ISP in some rural area where there's a lot of power
cuts! The ISP guys were asking like, "Why is it that Linux boxes need manual
intervention to get back up after a power cut!" .. "Can't you script what
you're doing to get it back up" ?!
Does not having this as the default makes sense in some tangible number of
cases ?!
