Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-6 Severity: critical Justification: may cause data loss
Hi, I just noticed that my laptop, at bootup, started an fsck for the root filesystem, claiming that it was a filesystem with errors. When it was about 20% done, it exited, and told me to rerun it manually. I expected a prompt for my root password and to be put in single-user mode, but this did not happen; instead, my system did a normal boot. This should _never_ happen! If the fsck fails, all sorts of bad things might have happened with the file system; continueing the boot at that point is a very good way to lose all your data. I was lucky to have spotted it... -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.4 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages initscripts depends on: ii coreutils 5.93-5 The GNU core utilities ii dpkg 1.13.11 package maintenance system for Deb ii e2fsprogs 1.38+1.39-WIP-2005.12.10-1 ext2 file system utilities and lib ii libc6 2.3.5-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii lsb-base 3.0-13 Linux Standard Base 3.0 init scrip ii util-linux 2.12r-2 Miscellaneous system utilities initscripts recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
