General :: Root Has Been Mounted X Times Without Checking
Jan 11, 2010
I have seen this message more then once and I cannot find information that is understandable to me and which is recent, so maybe the situation has changed with newer kernels/file systems. My question: is this normal behavior with linux and beside from increasing the number of start-ups after which this check runs, is there another way to avoid this? Isn't there a way to do a check after the os has been loaded?

I just installed umbutu 10 on a virtual machine running on VMware workstation 7.Workstation asked me for a username & password, which I supplied.The install went fine, and I logged on with the credintials that I provided to WorkStation. So far so good.I then downloaded Webmin and installed it, again no problems.I go to the provided link: URL... and it wants me to log-in as root.But I don't have the root password and checking umbutu it does not appear that I have a root user so that I can set a password.

I'm facing some issues with mounting the cd and usb stick in Gnome: once the hotplug device is discovered Gnome displays multiple lot (5+) notification windows (i.e asking about the opening application) and also causing Dbus errors like: "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending".
Ubuntu just mounts once, no issues like mentioned above. This is standard 11.3 installation, where should I look for the cause?

I have a Rad Hat 7.0 old Linux system that crashed due to power failure. On reboot the system goes to Checking Root File System and does 92.5% check and fails.
Here are the error messages I get.
I don't know what to do at this point so I say yes and it goes in some wierd mode.
SO I ran fsck manually but I get an error PARALLEIZING FSCK.
I can't fix the corrupted stuff for the system to reboot. THIS IS VITAL.

I am using Gentoo Linux and for a while now, the root file system is mounted read-only on booting. For obvious reasons, this is quite annoying as most services do not start up correctly (I do not use a separate file system for /var). After the system is up, I have to log in, remount the root file system read-write, fix /etc/mtab, mount all other file systems in from /etc/fstab and then start up all the missing daemons. I know that there are ways to make a system run properly with a read-only file system, but I would rather restore the old behaviour of a writable root file system.
The strange thing is that after running mount / -o remount,rw, the file system is mounted in writable mode without any errors. I suspected some problem with fsck, but now I have disabled automatic file system checks on the partition (tune2fs -c0 -i0).When I run dmesg, only these lines mention the partition at all, although I am not sure if not something gets lost because /var/log is not writable:
EXT3-fs (sda5): mounted filesystem with writeback data mode</code>
EXT3-fs (sda5): using internal journal
The line in /etc/fstab looks like this:
[code]....

I have a little problem with my RHEL5.5 IA64. I mounted a Windows directory with 'mount -t cifs'. After a little while someone else mounted the same windows directory in the same mountpoint. The output from 'mount -v' shows me that the same directory is mounted twice in the same mountpoints. I cannot unmount it, not even with the force option. The error is "Device or resource busy". There are no open files in the shared directory and no one using the directory or subdirectories.

I have switched recently from Ubuntu to Debian and overall I am enjoying it. However I was just wondering, does Debian, like Ubuntu check the filesystem at boot periodically or if damaged, because it is doing neither in my case? How do I get it to do this

I want to create a file in the /root directory and then make sure it exists. The following code keeps telling me that the file doesn't exist even though it does.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo -e "username=someusername
passwordsomepassword" | sudo tee /root/.credentials
if [ -e /root/.credentials ]; then
echo "File exists!"
[Code]...
[Edit] Added second double quotation mark at the end of "somepassword"

When i type the df command i see that /dev/hda1 as a filesytem that is mounted at '/'(root). Is /dev/hda1 a filesystem. I thought that it is a partition on my hard disk that contains the root file system.

Every once in a while when I plug my ipod (160gb 5 generation) in, it gets mounted as root.
If I eject and restart the ipod, the next time I plug it in, it is mounted as my normal user.

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:

Running RHEL 5 in a VMWare image, needed to add a second virtual disk, which worked fine - added it in VMWare, used fdisk and mkfs to format and mounted it as /SI50 so I could then access it. Did all this as root of course. Now I have created a new user and when I log in not only do I not see the new drive, but if I try and mount the drive I get an error "only root can do that". I absolutely have to see this drive as this new user so mounting it only for root to see is no good at all. I'm sure I'm fundamentally doing something wrong here, because obviously the way drives appear in Linux is completely different to windows.

When my husband and I installed Open SuSE 11.2, we made the mistake of telling it to have my other 2 hard drives owned by root. So now, whenever I want to open my other 2 hard drives, I have to type in the root password. How can I change this?

I'm on Slackware-current and I've got a /dev/sda1 (the root partition) formatted as ext4. The output of /etc/fstab is:
Code:
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 1 1

Today I was notified on my netbook that my root folder is running out of space. When I ran the disk analyzer, it showed that most of the space is going towards the videos folder in /media/win7. My ~/Videos folder is symbolically linked to the videos folder on my Windows partition, which is mounted in my fstab using ntfs-3g under /media/win7. The question now is, shouldn't the videos only exist in the windows partition? /media/win7 usage shouldn't affect space usage in my root folder right?

I don't know why but every time I plug my iPod it gets mounted automatically as root and therefore I can't write anything in it. I mentioned this issue on the #suse irc channel posting mount output:
eugenio@openSUSE:~> mount
/dev/sda7 on / type ext4 (rw,acl,user_xattr)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
[Code]....
I read some posts about editing the fstab file but I'm not really sure how to do this (if this is the solution) and I believe this could have worked on earlier versions (where HAL was used) Is there anything I can do to make opensuse mount my ipod automatically with full access to normal users?

Sometimes at startup I get this message "Checking disk 1 of 1". Does that mean it's checking all partitions on the hd? After a bad shutdown there is no prompt for fsck to run and the system just boots up. In fstab I have both options set to "1" for the partition Ubuntu is on, all others set to "0". Any ideas on both?

I chose Mint 8 Fluxbox and have the iso. I cannot figure out how to check the iso for errors and the MD5 signature.I'm using Windohs XP so I tried to install MD5sum.exe. When I double click on it to run it all it does is flash and then nothing.When I type in the commands it says it can't find it or it can't read it or something.I may be typing the commands incorrectly. I'm just not understanding.I need to check the iso for errors but can't understand how to check it.

But I don't see anything except "Test for IE". It is like the tests are being treated as comments? Do I need to turn something on in the server?

I run Ubuntu 9.04 and was recently told by my university that my computer is massively port scanning the network. I am interesting in learning more about figuring out what is happening to stop it, but I am lost at where to begin. What steps should I take (or files to look at) to figure out what is happening?

I am using Red hat on my laptop and normally playing in the console. As I only plug in the battery supply when the battery is down and going form console to GUI just to check the battery status is quite cumbersome , So was wondering if the status can be checked form the console itself.

Can I have parity checking without a raid? I would like to have parity checking but I want to maintain separate and independent drives so that if one day I decide I want to bring one of my drives to Bob's house I can do so. I Do understand that when I bring the drive to Bob's house it would at that point mess up the parity checking.
