Debian Installation :: Errors On Boot: "fsck.ext2: No Such File"?
Jan 19, 2011
I've installed Debian Lenny from USB with the small 8MB netboot image. I only chose "Standard system" in Tasksel during install, to get a clean, minimal install. I also chose for LVM and a separate partition for /home. I have one 1.5TB SATA drive in this machine.
Now everything seems to install just fine, but when I reboot I get the following error:
fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb1
I get offered to enter a maintenance shell, or press CTRL-D to resume booting. When I do, the system boots fine and nothing seems wrong. But it is inconvenient, because I can't reboot the machine without physically going to it to press CTRL-D on the keyboard
I have googled for this error and it is mentioned on several forums, but they were all related to other things specific to their installs/machines.
(ps. the only slightly strange thing during install is that the Debian installer included my 1GB USB thumbdrive when it shows all the drives and the partitions before formatting. I removed the USB thumbdrive directly after install, but if I plug it in, I still get the error)
These are the errors during boot:

I've only installed Debian on my laptops, which never had any problems.

When I do a forced fsck, I would like to have a log file to look at after boot.
When I check /var/log/ there are no files there with fsck output
I've run force fsck in these ways:
shutdown -rF now
-and-
touch /forcefsck

I have a 2TB file-system and when the machine reboots it fails the fsck, halts and goes into maintenance mode.Stats: I have have RHEL 5, 2.6.18 kernel, the file-system is an ext3. The file-system is on an EMC AX4 connected with fiber channel HBA.So far my reading tells me this should work because under 2.6 4TB is OK. Any ideas why this fails?If I take it out of the fstab file and mount it manually the boot is OK and the file-system behaves well. I can change the fsck check option in the fstab to 0 but I don't think I should have too. Everything I read says that 2TB ext3 file-systems are OK.

i get file system errors on boot up. found logs in /var/logs but cant access them. second best thing i can do is to re-install debian but no one seems to want to say how thats done. my disk wont run in wine (some error i dont remember) so i cant use my CD /flashdrive to re-install.
1) i need to read the log files and try to fix the install
2) if i cant fix i need to know how to wipe the OS and do a fresh install

Fsck is not check any file system which are not root file system at boot time.
Normally it run: /sbin/fsck -A -R -C -a
But this command doesn't do anything.
I've tried to strace it, and looks like this:

I have Debian Wheezy on my Dell Vostro 1710.
There is a fsck scan happening every 35 mounts on my laptop (i.e. when I boot)
It was fine until a few weeks ago when it started to fail.
Here is the error message :
What should I do to fix that ? I use my laptop to go on the Internet and I don't remember modifying/installing anything that could make this happen.
I found the answer : [URL] ....
I just had to type the root password and run fsck manually as follows : fsck /dev/sda7.

I have $ uname -a
Linux kub 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 7 21:35:22 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Most of the time when I boot my PC I get an error about fsck.ext4: Unable to resolve... I don't know why it's happening.
The problem is happening with my external drive that has 3 partitions:
/dev/sdc1
/dev/sdc3
/dev/sdc2
About 90% of the time I boot I do get the error. Sometimes after getting the error I can login and the external drive (/dev/sdc) is already mounted:
$ df -H
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 15G 8.0G 5.8G 58% /
tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 1.9G 246k 1.9G 1% /dev
tmpfs 1.9G 738k 1.9G 1% /dev/shm
code....
The UUID's in the error file match the output of the command blkid. And the UID's of blkid match the fstab UUID's. I don't know what to do at this point.

I just installed 10.04 from the minimal install cd (twice), and when I boot it up, it runs fsck on the 3 partitions, shows they are clean, and then nothing. I can't even get to recovery mode. I had previously installed 9.10 fine on this computer. I can't even find out what the real problem is, even with the quiet splash disabled. It just stops after successfully running fsck.

Is it still possible to use LiveCD to boot into rescue mode and run fsck?
I just want to run fsck on my hard disk and make sure all is well.
Does fsck provide and logs or records of what it found?
Is it possible to run fsck without LiveCD?

16GB RAI've been running the Debian-based Proxmox VE on it for six months or so with no problems.Today I loaded Centos 5.5 x64. During a reboot, the file system crashed and fsck couldn't repair.I loaded it again, did all the updates, and loaded my applications. On about the third reboot, it crashed again and fsck couldn't fix it.I don't really know where to begin. I doubt seriously that any hardware has went bad since yesterday.

Booting up fails with code 126. I am greeted with the following error everyime I start up.
Checking root file system.../etc/rcS.d/S10checkroot.sh: line 174: /sbin/logsave: Permission denied
failed (code 126).
It then says an automatic fsck failed and a manual fsck must be performed, then the system restarted. I have done a manual fsck and it did nothing. I booted up the system with knoppix and did it, nothing.

Since installing debian 8.2 I have had a list of errors appear during the boot, I get the usual Loading, please wait message then a series of random errors.I think I am stuck in initramfs, then typing exit resumes boot. Should I be concerned and can I jump straight into the login screen without typing exit each time?

I've generated some srt subtitle files using gocr from pgm files used in DVD's. The ocr program gets confused between lower case L and upper case i and sees them as the same thing. This results in words with capital i's in them instead of lower case L.
What is the best way to automate the correction without a spell checker? I tried sed, but it's difficult to tell between the i's that you want and those that need changing. I figured that any word that consists solely of capital i's is ok, e.g. Roman Numerals, but any capital i not at the beginning of a word needs changing.

Debian 8 faild to boot normally, thowing several screens of error messages. Then it suggested to enter root pw and do some maintenance, and upon accepting my root pw it booted me into command line.I guess, those screens of errors are saved to some log files - if this is the case, in which files shall find it?I tried:
/var/log/syslog - an endless file, yet the records end at 28/12/2015
/var/log/dmesg - same
/var/log/boot.log - not there

My Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 with 6x partitions (/, /boot,/home, /usr, /var, /tmp) of 6.0 GB IDE Hardisk was working quite fine. I decided to create LVM on /home and /var partitions but due to some errors occured and I delete the /home partitions. That's why partition table altered. I then delete 4,5,and 6th partitions (/home, /var, /tmp) partitions and now try to create one by one but following error is coming:-

i m not able to copy a file over 16 gigs on an EXT2 or EXT3 partition. Is there a way to do this. I even tried to split my iso file too. I splitted my iso file in 4 files then copy them on the ext2 or ext3 partition. But as soon as I was trying to join the files together it never went over 16 gigs. Actually it stops at 16,843,020 kb exactly. is there a limit for those partitions or is there an another way to see my 20gigs iso file in one piece?

Is there recommended file system for boot partition. Debian default use ext2. Why? Can it be used ext4? I know the difference between ext2 and ext4. But why, currently in Debian, boot partition is ext2 and all others are formated with ext3...

I'm having two distinct Grub boot errors with Ubuntu 9.10, stemming from two different setups. Anticipating that I'll be asked I ran BootInfoScript on both setups. This is the first setup, where I put a Flash ROM card in the Flash ROM port in front of the computer. This setup will not boot at all, and I get a message something like "Insert appropriate media and try again."

Directories(-entries) are in a EXT2 file system
managed in a singly linked list.
Delete files in the directory causes Gaps or holes to appear in
the linked list of the directory.How does a C-source code look like,
which would reorganize this list and remove the gaps or Holes.

I've had a lot of success over the past year with Ubuntu 10.4; however, recently I've been experiencing nothing but problems. It all started with an upgrade a month ago that caused me to experience a boot error. Now every time I re-install the system, I will have a random boot error. I have been trying to install the system on a friend's computer and getting the same thing. I've tried a different download and burned different discs, but I am still experiencing problems with the system having a boot error. Sometimes it is immediate after installation and other times it might boot fine for a day or two and then suddenly it will no longer boot. Is there some kind of bug with 10.4 now? I never, never had this hard of a time with Ubuntu. I've installed it on several computers for myself and other people.

I have recently bought a Toshiba 1TB external USB disk.
I have formatted it using gparted to ext2 and Debian see's it but gives me an error "unable to mount volume" with some extra stuff about programs shouldn't disconnect shared drives.
I can mount it ok by creating a folder called usbdisk and the mount command "mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /home/mike/usbdisk" and it works fine, but I have to do this everytime I start the machine.
Does anyone know what exactly I should put into a setup file to make the machine do this everytime , but only if its there.
As I'm not very clued up on bash scripting , I'm assuming it something along these lines:
How would I add this at boot?? Would I add it to the end of "init.d/rc" ?

I've been using Linux ( Ubuntu from like 4 months ) the first time of my life and I just love Linux, but I just feel that I need to switch to Debian like its the best and the powerful distro. I've installed Debian pretty well, then when rebooting it. I cant find my Ubuntu distro on the grub loader, then when I enter to my Debian distro. I just have that black screen with the note (out of range), so I've went to Google but as u know I am still a rookie, so I could avoid this problem by using.
alt + ctrl + ( - ), so I went to connecting the internet maybe I could download that nvidia drivers so it may fix the problem, but the most shock is that the internet isn't working with me. I am pretty sure that I've entered the IPs correctly but I really don't know whats the main problem is, with Ubuntu its much easier and it really worked quickly but as I said I just feel something for Debian , something that attract me to it.
