hi everybody,
trying to force the exec of fsck at boot, I found in init.d/checkfs.sh:
if [ -f /forcefsck ] || grep -q -s -w -i "forcefsck" /proc/cmdline
then
force="-f"
else
force=""
fi
So, I typed "touch /forcefsck", and rebooted.
This gave me several strange (IMHO) things
1/ fsck was run on 3 of my 5 ext4 partitions
but not on / (which actually has fs_passno=1)
and not for the 5th partition ,/dev/sdg1, which has fs_passno=2.
I have in syslog:
"EXT4-fs (sdg1): warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is
recommended"
2/ I have in syslog:
"systemd-fsck[2553]: Please pass 'fsck.mode=force' on the kernel
command line rather than creating /forcefsck on the root file system."
Does that mean that the guys working on checkfs.sh and systemd-fsck don't
communicate?
Anyway, I also tried this method, which gave me the same results.
A workaround would be to boot with a live cd, and run fsck manually, but is
there an easier solution?
best regards,
