I wanted to know how can I make fsck automatically fix HDD errors when it needs to check HDD during boot up and do not ask user for it . I found some of fsck related scripts in /etc/init/ and /etc/init.d/ but I don't know what to do with them.
How can I set the outgoing port for the socket? In wireshark, my outgoing port is 1024, and i want to set it to 6800 (or a similar port) I see the outgoing broadcast-message in wireshark, but no answer. There are three ECU's in the LAN, which should answer. The following code is a mixture of C/C++ and jointed from different articles:
[code]...
In wireshark I can only see the outgoing message. But the "recvBuffer" (in the lower part of the code) contains the same content as the sendBuffer. Is it right, that I need a sender and further more a receiver? Or should I receive the broadcast-answer on the same socket on which I send the bc?
Today I did an update on my Debian 6.0.0 installation, which included a kernel update. I also did an Nvidia driver update, afterward. All well, until upon a third boot up an fsck check was forced (34 mounts). Some odd behavior ensued. At about 19% it exited the check, printed what appeared to be a load of inode numbers with error messages, and "froze" with the caps lock and num lock lights on the keyboard flashing.I did a couple of grub recovery modes, each which advanced a little further, and all is well again. However, it concerned me. Where in var/log do I find the file of that particular fsck activity?
I have my drives set to run fsck on boot up. This is the default setting for Fedora but if there is a problem it prompts me to run fsck manually. Is there a way to have Fedora just run fsck and fix any errors it finds on boot up?w in Debian distros you can put FSCKFIX=yes in the /etc/default/rcS file to do this. But I can't find the equivalent on Fedora.
I am wondering if there is a way to manually trigger a file system check during boot by pressing/holding a key. Maybe there is already a keyboard shortcut built in to do this?I know that using tune2fs you can modify the number of boots (mounts) between file system checks, or even use "shutdown -rF" to reboot the system and force a file system checkAlso, I do not want to force the user to choose to run/skip the file system check during boot. For example, prompting the user with, "Do you want to run a file system check [y/n]?" each boot (or even each time the system thinks it should run a file system check),s not desirable
I need to boot in WXP just because the guys at the company don't want to update for Linux drivers in the TS so I can't connect from home unless I do it in Windows XP. But today WXP refuses to boot, when the progress bar appears, the system boots automatically. The WXP CD doesn't help, the repair console doesn't let me run chkdsk or anything (dir C: gives an error about listing addresses or something like that). Is there any way to use fsck or anything in Linux to repair the WXP NTFS partition?
i have the same issue but with a real install, not a vmware.every reboot fsck says that my main partition was not cleanly unmounted and check is forced.during shutdown the ubuntu does not show messages in a clear way but in random places. however, i am able to see the "/ is busy" message 1 second before reboot/off.my distribution is 10.10 upgraded from 9.10, 10.04
I was editing my fsck at etc/fstab/ after removing a hard drive and i think i commented out the wrong drive . now i just get a blank screen on boot. I have the ability to use my ubuntu cd for a recovery console, live desktop, etc.
UPDATE: This is a bug: [URL] Evidently the problem is with plymouth because a workaround is to add "rd_NO_PLYMOUTH" to the kernel boot options. I don't get a prompt for my disk encyrption pass phrase---just a flashing cursor---but that's a small price to pay for being able to run fsck when the root filesystem wasn't umounted properly.
I have fully updated f13 (as of today) on a laptop with all ext2 file systems (It has nothing but flash memory.) If it's shut down without unmounting all file systems, it drops to a shell and asks for the root password to run fsck when it's rebooted. Every key press is treated as though it were <enter>, with a response to the effect that the password is incorrect.
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.
Today for strange reason, one of my Ubuntu 64 bit server Linux VM failed to start ? it stopped in the FSCK scan status with the error as attached. few days back I've added new hard disk successfully and format it as sdb5 without problem.
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.
Got tired of long waits for fsck on very large partitions.Here's a script to fsck selected partitions every 'N' shutdowns. No more boot delays for fsck (unless something is really wrong
Update1: On my system '/usr/libexec/gam_server' (gamin component used by xfce) prevented /home from being unmounted. I changed Code:
I was running 11.0 and it stalled in the middle of a number of updates. On reboot I now get (if I remember correctly) Error 15: File not found.I managed to get my hands on a 11.0 live cd and started trying to fix grub. However, when I try mounting the harddrive using "mount /dev/sda1" I got
Code: can`t find sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" gives
I need to be able to login to terminal and I can't seem to find an easy way to do it from the login screen, or elsewhere that I would normally find in an older version of ubuntu. I need to run fsck with drives unmounted
Im a bit stuck with a simple script that im practicing with... im trying to get my head around some simple scripting. Basically i want to write a script that will work as below: It will ask the user to enter their userid. If its correct it will say 'Correct' If its the wrong id (But the ID exists in /etc/passwd) then it will say 'incorrect' If its not a valid userid it will say 'doesnt exist'. What i have so far is:
[Code]...
# If the user enters their own userid they will get a comment saying 'correct' $LOGNAME) echo "Correct";;
# If they enter another users ID (That exists in the /etc/passwd), then they get a message to say 'incorrect userid used'. Im not sure what i need to do here to get it to check the /etc/passwd to see if the input exists in there.... im guessing some kind of simple 'if' statement to say ---- "if 'input' exists in /etc/passwd then echo "incorrect userid used"
# If its entered incorrectly and not a valid ID then they will get this comment. Again, im guessing this part would be similar to te above option..... *) echo "not a valid ID";;
Ive managed to work out how the basic Case staements work, but to add a conditional statement based on the input, i just cant figure out. I have tried looking on google, and found some help but it doesnt really explain how i check the input against the /etc/passwd.
all is well on my headless Lucid server until a recent apt-get upgrade && shutdown -R now ... it did not come back up? after i moved a screen to the other side of the house, i found fcsk waiting for input during the boot process errors on / ... (I)gnore / (F)ix " ...so i had to attach a keyboard just to push <F> i could change /etc/fstab so it never runs fsck, but this doesn't seem wise. how can i make it <F>ix automatically ? ( or maybe after Xsec )
I have ran into a bit of a problem. my server(10.10) is hosting a website with no problems whatsoever. I decided to install an extra hard drive, and format. i did both, and turned off my server after some more configuration. After a while, I decided that the new hard drive was a little loud for my liking, so I removed it. I had not put any files on it. I rebooted and saw a message that said this:Quote:fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2/dev/sda1: clean, 101202/2351104 files, 1516082/9393920 blocksI think that when I turned it off, it was formatting. How do I stop this from halting the boot? I can get by it by pressing the b or a key.
