If I issue a shutdown -rF now, it will force e2fsck's on all the volumes when it reboots. But once the checks automatically finish, does it restart normally? I want to run e2fsck's on all my volumes, but dont want to stay the probably 5 hours it will run, so hoping someone knows for sure what happens.
View 2 RepliesI want to perform an e2fsck with the y switch (so I dont have to answer yes to every question) on two volumes on a server the next time I restart it. I don't want to do a shutdown -rF because 1) I dont want to check the other volumes and 2) it seems when I do that, the e2fsck doesn't keep restarting itself over and over to fix all the problems. Seems like it runs once, then if it fails it drops you to the repair console in single user mode. I'd rather just have it start the check that will keep repeating over and over right away, because I know it'll take more than one pass.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop and I now remember why I didn't ever use it, and that is because the sound volumes are ear-shattering loud across reboots. I have tried doing:Code:sudo alsactl store 0However it doesn't save the settings. I can set the volumes manually using alsa-mixer but that is a pain.I have read the "comprehensive fix to audio problems"sticky but it did not alleviate my problem. And as far as I know, my alsa is up to date.I'm sorry I don't know the relevant output of code needed to show alsa version, etc., so please inform me and I will post accordingly.

Then fsck(?) scans them without errors, and everything continues normally. FWIW, hdb1 @ hdb2 are ext2, /boot & /tmp respectively, whereas all other partitions are ext3. Could that (ext2) be why? I checked halt, reboot, umountfs, umountnfs.sh, and umountroot in /etc/init.d, and nothing jumped out at me, though I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at/for.

My question is, which i can't figure out from reading the man pages for e2fsck and shutdown, is what switches does it use when it automatically runs an e2fsck on each volume? i'm assuming a -y since it never prompts, but what else? is it physically checking the entire disk for bad blocks, etc etc?
I've been googling my brains out looking for a solution to this. So far, nothing.
As the title suggests, every time I attempt to shut the computer down it instantly reboots the moment the internal fans stop whirring.
So far I've tried:
-shutting down via the terminal (this actually makes the reboot happen instantly rather than waiting for the fans to stop)
-looking in the BIOS for any obvious settings which may be causing this
-performing a dpkg repair
-Allowing "Proposed" updates in the Updater
-installing (slightly) older Kernel (2.6.35-22 as opposed to 2.6.35-23)
-installing newer (2.6.36) kernel
I know others are having this issue, but other threads I've read seem to have fizzled out with no conclusion. Has anyone managed to find a way to make this work if they've had the bug?
Any advice at all? Is it worth trying an even older kernel? Or an even older version of Linux?

I am trying to set up a somewhat older Dell as a test box. I installed Fedora 13 on it. When I attempt to shut down the system, it reboots and powers back on. I have attempted shutdown using the GUI, and variations of shutdown, init and halt. All of these result in the PC powering back on. The only way for me to power off the system is to press and hold the power button.

Right I got it to work, so for any looking for the solutions simply go to /home/(username)/.wine/system.reg and change the user name and the organisation either delete it or enter something, I entered my user name but I left the organisation blank but I left the quote marks that were there. Save it and the product code thingy should not appear again.
i'm using Ubuntu in my office. I have to report two issues with network connectivity.1. Wireless doesn't work if come back after suspend/hibernate the computer. The work around I follow is,a. Turnoff the wifi and restart the computer. (It won't shutdown. have to do force using the power button)b. Reinstall the network-manager_0.8-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb and network-manager-gnome_0.8-0ubuntu3_amd64.debc. Restart the computer (Again it won't shutdown. Need force.)d. Now wifi will detect the networks and shutdown works fine hereafter.2. Sometimes the wired gets disconnect frequently (thrice in 2minutes). Physical connectivity is good and working well in Windows.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a volume on my server that according to tune2fs is "clean with errors", so i'm assuming I either need to unmount the volume and e2fsck it, or reboot and drop into maintenance mode and do itThere aren't any live samba shares off that volume, so i'm thinking I could do it without taking the server down, as this server is only for samba shares, which are on a different volume.Could someone tell me if I'm taking the right approach? I've never done unmounting and mounting before, but I've read it can be done manually without affecting how the volumes are mounted when a server starts. i'll have to look up the commands.
View 6 Replies View RelatedOther than when there are errors in the messages log or when you have file system problems, when should you e2fsck volumes? I have a lot of volumes that have 500GB to 1TB of data on them, and it takes quite a while to e2fsck them, so wondering if its something that should be done regularly, or only when there are actually problems.
View 11 Replies View RelatedWhy does an e2fsck restart itself after a while, does it get to a certain number of errors than has to start over from the beginning? are there any tweaks or switches you can use to make it run more efficiently?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two volumes, both with 800GB total used on them. lets call them /vol1 and /vol2. /vol2 is just a cron'd rsync'd copy of a folder on /vol1 which is a live share for many users.If I temporarily suspend the cronjob doing the rsync's from /vol1 to /vol2, is it safe to unmount and e2fsck /vol2, then remount it somehow?
Both /vol1 and /vol2 say the filesystem state is not clean when i do a tune2fs -l on them both. According to tune2fs both will check themselves upon restart, but if I can do /vol2 since it isn't the live data beforehand, that will cut my downtime in half the next time i restart the server.But I also wonder that if I can do this, then i remount /vol2, will the "not clean"-ness of /vol1 just be rsync'd back over to /vol2 the next time the rsync runs?
I know if I do a shutdown -rF now, it will perform an e2fsck on all my volumes with the -y switch. But if I just want to check one of the volumes rather than all of them, and have it use the -y switch so it will automatically answer yes to everything, how can I do that?I'm using RHEL, and have a huge volume I need to run a check on, and I dont want to sit there for the next 24 hours hitting the Y key every time it finds a problem ;-)
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I umount both of them, can I run an e2fsck on each at the same time through 2 putty sessions, or will that not really gain me anything from doing them one after another?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want the e2fsck check the filesystem on
every 5th boot.
I have a heavily used file server that I want to restart, then if it requires e2fsck's on any volume to run them after it restarts. The only problem is that the server is rarely rebooted, and they said it might kernel panic because its been so long. I've heard there's a way to have it go past the kernel panic if it does happen, but I'm not sure how to do that or the other stuff.If it was a Windows server, I would schedule a shutdown with the force switch, and have the chkdsk's already scheduled for each volume on reboot. But for RHEL, I really don't know.I'm hoping this can be done, so that way I can have it kick off at say 7am, then when I get in at 8am it will probably be near the end of the e2fsck's so I can see what's going on.

I have included Shutdown/Startup in dbora, so that Oracle 10gR2 Shutdown/Startup will be automated during OS Shutdown/Startup.
I want to check Shutdown log because Oracle Shutdown was not running, as from $ORACLE_HOME/shutdown.log contains no entries, where as startup log contains latest startup details.
That means here 2 issues are there. One, I want to locate OS Shutdown Log and the other being Why Oracle Shutdown not getting executed.

I am trying to install Ubuntu on my computer (which already has windows and I don't want to lose it yet)
I have already burnt 3 CDs yet the problem is the same each time, that's why I believe the problem does not come from the burning. I checked the md5sum and there was no problem.
However when I try to install Ubuntu (or sometimes during a live session) after partitionning my computer and selecting mounting points, having "format" checked on the concerned partitions, the installation goes halfway through the "copying files" process and my computer simply reboots. More precisely, in the middle of installation the screen is replaced with the loading page of Ubuntu (like when you start with the live CD) then my computer reboots, no questions asked (not even to remove the CD, it reboots with the CD in it... while during a manual shutdown it would open the tray and ask you to close it)
