Title: Command-line recovery required when fsck reports an unexpectedy inconsistency Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in Fedora: Won't Fix Bug description: When there is an ext3 filesystem error and fsck fails to correct it, the system becomes unusable. It asks the user to perform fsck manually in a very cryptic way. The average user can in no way understand what has happened to their system. In most cases a simple fsck /dev/hdaX (whatever partition required the check) will end up solving the problem. This should be done automatically. Here is the output of what happened to a friend of mine who rebooted and had to use windows because they couldn't start ubuntu: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following appears when i try to boot ubuntu: dev/hda2 contains a file system with errors-check forced unexpected inconsistency RUN fsck manually without -a or -p options an automatic file system check of the root file system failed a manual fsck must be performed then system rebooted ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/58430/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
