[solved] fsck and encrypted /home

Hello,
After testing arch for some weeks, I made the "final" switch this week-end: I moved my LUKS encrypted /home from ubuntu tu arch. During this process I had a problem with fsck on my encrypted /home. I put 0 in /etc/stab to disable fsck:

/dev/mapper/home    /home        ext3    defaults    0       0

So my question is: is it possible to activate fsck on my /home at boot time ? Or should I let this as it is ?

Thanks,

I've activated it. No problems so far.

What problem did you have?

Re: [solved] fsck and encrypted /home

I don't remember exactly but there was fsck in the error message during the boot, it was not possible to boot. But I have just tested again with fsck and it works well !
So this error was maybe not due to fsck (I had various issues with crypttab options, qwerty/azerty passphrase, etc.)  ... but I remember that before deactivating fsck the system was not booting, after it was.
Anyway, now it works :-)
