Re: [Ltib] Auto run fsck at boot

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Todd,

All I can confirm is that there was never originally a plan to handle this kind of situation and so it's likely a bug/limitation of the start-up script.  Anyone have an idea to fix simply without putting a full sysv init sequence (e.g. fix what's there)?

Regards, Stuart

Sometimes, if my target watchdogs and does not shut down cleanly, the next time it boots, there is a "stale file handle".  If I run fsck manually, it finds and fixes the problem.

My problem is: fsck is not being run at boot time on my partitions in /etc/fstab.  

Example partition in /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda2 /hd/app ext2 rw,errors=continue 0 2 <- Shouldn't this '2' cause fsck to be run on this partition?

I always get the following message at boot time, even when the partition is "not clean":

Mounting filesystems

[   13.693640] EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is recommended

It looks like the script: /etc/rc.d/init.d/filesystems is handling the mounting.

Can anyone tell me how to get fsck to be run automatically at boot time?

Sorry if this is a little off LTIB topic.

Thanks!

Todd
