Posted: Thu Oct 31, 2002 2:07 pm Post subject: 1 or 2? dosfsck (boot sector: original vs. backup) |
|
|
During boot, a large list of number would scroll by very fast, i finally tracked down the problem by searching google, but not solution was found.
It seems very few people have had this error message (google only returned about 10 results... amazing for google to have such few results).
One person mentioned it was related to having both windows 2000 and linux on the same harddrive. Some kind of conflict between both boot loaders? They recommended running dosfsck... so i did, and this is what i got...
Any idea if i should answer 1 or 2? How do i know which is correct? the original or the backup?
Code: |
ealfert-linux root # dosfsck -v -V /dev/hda1
dosfsck 2.8 (28 Feb 2001)
dosfsck 2.8, 28 Feb 2001, FAT32, LFN
Warning: FAT32 support is still ALPHA.
There are differences between boot sector and its backup.

1) Copy original to backup
2) Copy backup to original
3) No action

SOLUTION.... I solved my problem...
the dosfsck for FAT32 is still in ALPHA!.... plus, the error that it is finding is not really a problem.
But it was caused because in my /etc/fstab i told fsck to check the filesystem at bootup. I removed the 1 and put a 0
here is my /etc/fstab
Code: |

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). Adding the following
# line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will use almost no
# memory if not populated with files)
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

In case you don't know what the columns dump/pass mean (i didn't really understand untill i started investigating this problem)...
Dump is the number of days (frequency) that the dump command should check to inform you that you haven't backup files in that filesystem.
Pass is the order in which fsck should check the filesystem for errors during bootup. (always set / to 1) (other filesystems should be set to 2 3 4 5 etc. to set the order you want them checked... If you have 2 harddrives, you can have two different filesystems set for the same order number, and since they are separate disk, they will be check concurrently and save you some time... but if you use the same order number with various filesystems on the same harddrive, then you will cause it to take longer than if you did one first and then the other, because the head would be moving back and forth between the various partition at the same time...competing for attention.)
Hope this helps... _________________ Edward Alfert
