Ubuntu :: Disk Check On Every Boot On Lucid?

May 26, 2010

I have updated from Karmic to Lucid not long ago, and everything went smooth and my system is been working like a charm for about a month. And it still does, with the only issue being that every time I restart my system, one of my partitions is checked.

My disk is split into 4 partitions:
sda1, NTFS for windows
sda2, ext4 for "/"
sda3, ext2 for /home
sda4, swap

Now what seems to happen is that sda3 is being marked as "not clean" on every shutdown, which makes me assume that is not being umounted at all.

I've been reading logs, commenting network drives out on fstab.. nothing does the trick.

I've booted into single mode and run e2fsck (which doesn't find anything wrong, and marks the FS as "clean") and then rebooted. The result is: if the FS wasn't mounted when I restart, then I get a clean boot once, but it is checked on the following one; if it was mounted then it is again checked at start-up.

Again, all points to the problem being that the FS is not cleanly umounted on shut-down.

I could not find any log with info of the processes killed and FS umounted at shut-down, so if anybody knows where to look, it could be a good start.

Debian :: Run Check Disk From A Boot Disk

Oct 11, 2010

I'm very new to linux and running debian 4.0. On boot got an error:

I did a ghost image of drive before I do any more damage and when performing the ghost, ghost stated I need to run fsck. I created the image and noticed that a lot of folders were missing (bin, boot and others).

1. How do I run check disk from an boot disk?
2. Is there something else I should consider?

Ubuntu :: How To Stop Disk Check Every Time On Boot Up

Dec 19, 2010

Every time I boot up I have to go through a disk check and then restart, how do I stop it from happening? When the disk checks happening I press escape and it usually says its deleted inode something because it has zero Dtime or some thing similar and also a paragraph of repeated lines saying something like all system files need alsa base.cnfg it will be ignored in a future release then the disk check completes and it restarts and is fine then, also sometimes it says dev/sda5 (my ubuntu partition) was not cleanly unmounted check forces. Is their a way to stop this happening as it ends up taking ages just to login.

Ubuntu :: Lucid-Disk 1 Of 2 Failed - Now GRUB2 Chokes On Dual Boot

Jul 20, 2011

Dual boot PC, boot disk and WIN XP are on good disk, Ubuntu was installed on failed disk. (I prefer separate disks for each OS).

I know I will need to reinstall Ubuntu later, and of course, GRUB2 now crashes without the Ubuntu disk.

Confirm that the only thing I need to do when I get the new drive installed and partitioned is to boot my XP disk in Recovery Mode and type "fixmbr", (then reboot to confirm clean WIN operation on the existing disk) then install Ubuntu as normal on the new disk.

Hardware :: Check Hard Disk For Errors. Possible Hard Disk Failure?

Jun 21, 2011

I was using Terminal and browsing a directory in my home folder. My "home" directory is located on "/dev/sdb1". When in Terminal I typed "ls" in one of my directories and the output was garbage. The output didn't show the files in the directory. I think it said something like, "input/output error". Unfortunately, I didn't write the exact error down. Instead I rebooted.The hard disk with the problem is:

Red Hat :: How To Run A Disk Check

May 28, 2010

I suspect one of my hard disks is faulty and I need to run a check on them. I have seen the documentation about 'e2fsck' but this states that this is unsafe if the filesystem is mounted. Unfortunately the device in question mounted on the root filesystem, so unmounting it is likely to create problems.

Ubuntu :: Startup Disk Check Frequency - GUI Control?

Dec 17, 2010

I had it in mind that Ubuntu ran disk checks every 30 boots, but mine are more frequent - running between 10 & 25, which is an irritation. Records show checks after: 12-21-10-20-10-20-13-25-16-21 boots. Should I worry about either the frequency or the variability? I found threads suggesting how to change the frequency using tune2fs, so I suppose I can try that to stretch the interval to maybe 50 or weekly? Will it have any effect, since there is so much variation already? Is there a GUI for setting this frequency, instead of fiddling in terminal?

Ubuntu :: Each Time Start The Computer - Have To Check The Disk

May 19, 2011

When I start the computer I receive the message that the drive that contains the /home partition has an error. If I press "F" the screen says that the drive is no ready, that I can wait, cancel or manually recovery. If I wait, in about 1 minute, the system starts normally. If I press "M" to repair manually, then I press fsck to repair the disk and apparently repairs the disk. But everytime I start (power on) the computer, Ubuntu always checks the disk and gives a dialog where I can: press F to attempt to fix the errors, I to ignore, S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

Ubuntu Installation :: Disk Check More Frequently After Install Arch

Mar 13, 2010

Recently I installed Arch on my computer. There are now three systems on it:XP,Ubuntu,Arch.I choose to share the same disk space for swap and /home in the two systems.The installation went well except some problems with Grub, and I managed to made it work. These days,when I start my computer and choose Ubuntu,there always displays a short message about /home disk checking or some problems about fstab. I don't know why. When I login to the system, it works well all the time.

Ubuntu :: Minor - Version 10.04 Takes AGES To Check The Disk

May 13, 2010

I have just 4 minor things with Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit)

1) Sometimes the disk checker runs at startup. Why does it take so long to finish? On the previous version of Ubuntu, it was a quick check, but now on version 10.04 it takes AGES just to check the disk!

2) Why do some programs like Kega Fusion only play sound if you run it on its own with no other programs open? Try the Linux version of Kega Fusion with and without other programs open: [URL]

3) Who do I ask if I would like a hardware device supported? I have a SIM card reader (Veho VSD-229) and I can only use it in Windows to back up my SIM card contacts.

4) Last question. Is there a Ubuntu "wishlist" anywhere?

Hardware :: Way To Check Overall Size Of Hard Disk

Jan 22, 2010

Is there any other way to check the overall size of the hard disk other than just fdisk -l? This is because the cloud server that my company has purchased is supposed to have 50GB of hard disk size,It shows that it has two SCSI drives, only both summing up to 50GBs. So what is the second SCSI drive, and why is it divided that way? dev/sda and dev/sdb???
