 Posted: Fri Jul 15, 2005 12:29 am Post subject: Double checking filesystems at boot [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi everyone,
since my last upgrade to portage-2.0.51.22-r1 , it seems that at boot time it wants to check my filesystems twice. The first time everything is OK, but it does it a second time and I get error messages like "/dev/hda6 is mounted. e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting". I have then either to hit ^D to continue, or enter the root passwd for maintenance. In the latter case I've tried to e2fsck my filesystems again (ext3) and it seems clean. In both cases my box continues to run smoothly without a problem.
So my question is: is there a bug somewhere in portage that makes it checking my filesystems twice? What can I do to avoid that?

Hey.
Could you please post the output of "rc-update -s" (needs to be run as root)?

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.
I think I see where the problem is, from your fstab;
| Code: | /dev/hda6 /usr ext3 noatime 1 2
/dev/hda8 /home ext3 noatime 1 2 |
I don't see why this would cause a problem, or how a portage update would have any effect.
Did you update anything else, such as the baselayout, or e2fsprogs?
Are the error mesages all related to /dev/hda's 6 and 8?
The pass number field determines when a filesystem should be checked at boot time, 2 should ensure it's checked after anything with a value of 1, but in your case it seems to cause the disk to be checked again afrer it's mounted.
I think resetting the value to the default 0 should fix this, and if it's being checked anyway, I don't think you really need to specify it.

No problem!

mmmhh... I'm not sure. I don't think baselayout has been updated recently, I don't know about e2fsprogs.
| Code: |
# emerge -pv baselayout e2fsprogs
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.12-r4 -bootstrap -build -static +unicode 0 kB
[ebuild R ] sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.37-r1 -nls -static 0 kB
|
e2fsprogs has been marked stable on x86 on June 27th. I updated it on June 28th, but my problems at boot are not that old. It appeared couple of days ago, a week ago or so.

Absolutely! When the first check is made, hda3, hda6 and 8 are checked and marked clean. But there is another check of hda6 and 8 , not hda3. That's when it gets messy.
So now I change it to:
| Code: |
/dev/hda6 /usr ext3 noatime 1 0
/dev/hda8 /home ext3 noatime 1 0
|
I'll let you know what it does...
Thanks a lot for your help!

OK! I rebooted without a problem. But now I just wonder: is that safe to disable the check at boot time? hda's 6 and 8 haven't been checked at all this time.
Thanks again, mate!

You just made me think of something else you could try;
| Code: | /dev/hda6 /usr ext3 noatime 0 2
/dev/hda8 /home ext3 noatime 0 2 |
This might give you what you were looking for, with hda's 6 and 8 only checked at the later stage.

Hello,
the last solution did not work, it did the same problem as before. 1st check of hda's 3, 6, 8 ok, but then problem because of another check of hda's 6 and 8.
However, I am updating to e2fsprogs-1.38, and will build a new kernel as well (gentoo-sources-2.6.12.r6). So things might as well come back to normal, hopefully!
So I'll keep you posted.
Cheers,

Yep! I'm lucky enough with those updates so that now it works fine with my initial fstab settings . So it was probably a small bug in the e2fsprogs package, although I haven't found any trace of that anywhere on the Gentoo forums or in bugzilla.
Again, thanks for your help, hopeless, and your time!
Cheers,

No problem, sorry I couldn't be more help.
Mark this thread as Solved?
Edit: Nevermind, you already did.

This bug isn't really solved. I have this e2fsck problem on two machines (one x86 and one amd64). I'm using a full "unstable" system with ~amd64 or ~x86 in my make.conf.
I tried already reemerging e2fsck and baselayout but that does not work. |
