### Please describe the problem. git annex fsck with --incremental-schedule restarts all the time. According to the man page: Maybe you'd like to run a fsck for 5 hours at night, pick- ing up each night where it left off. You'd like this to continue until all files have been fscked. And once it's done, you'd like a new fsck pass to start, but no more often than once a month. Then put this in a nightly cron job: git annex fsck --incremental-schedule 30d --time-limit 5h If I run that command (with a time limit of 10 minutes) it starts over instead of continuing where it finished off. ### What version of git-annex are you using?

(Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders) I manage all my important personal documents since about two or three years, spreading them out over home servers, cloud providers and off site usb-drives in foreign countries, making sure that there are always at least 4 copies available.
