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

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 launcher for Quake that essentially runs a shell scripts that runs quakespasm with certain options. Is there a way to add it to AWN?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedRight now I am trying to fix the problems on my server with daemons not starting.
So I have to try different solutions and reboot.
The problem is that after 28 reboots, fsck kicks in and decides to check 2 TB of data.
Is there a way to cancel this???
It takes forever, and by the time it will be done, I will have forgotten what I was testing.
The issue of daemons not starting becomes even more frustrating when fsck decides that I must take a half an hour break.
So again, how do I cancel the fsck on Ubuntu Server?

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.

View 14 Replies View RelatedToday 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUPDATE: 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 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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have recently completed a fresh install of 10.4 LTS which installed without a hitch. But I have noticed that since I have moved to Lucid on my T43 the hard drive light is constant for at least 20 mins after each boot. Everything seems to run ok albeit during this time apps take a little longer to open as the HD is busy doing some thing...I just don't know what! BTW I am running the Gnome desktop and its a fairly vanilla install.
This didn't happen in the previous Ubuntu version I had installed on here for several months prior.
Does any one have any ideas what this may be or how I could find out what it is that is using the HD for this length of time on boot.
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.
