[rtl] RT-Linux instrument control: Reboot/fsck question

[Bill Blackwell <bill@mesa.mit.edu>]

I've been using RT-Linux for some time now for instrument control. 
Everything works fine with one small exception, and it's not even RT-L
related, but I thought someone here might be able to help.  It turns out
that power outages (beyond my control) are causing file system problems.
When fsck runs on the subsequent bootup, I have to interactively correct
the problems.  However, the instrument is in a remote location, so I
can't be there to guide fsck.  So the question is:

a)  Is there a good way to make the filesystem more robust with regard
to spurious reboots?  A sync option when I mount / perhaps?

b)  Is there a way to get fsck to run non-interactively EVEN when it
finds errors?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
