*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 48806 *** The fix for bug 48806 | The attached one-line sed script can be used either to fix fstab generated by Ubuntu/Kubuntu installer or it can be distributed as a patch for the affected Ubuntu/Kubuntu versions that turn on the fsck check for fat/msdos partitions. For example, for versions 6.06 and 6.10. Note: I have not tested version 6.11.
# PURPOSE: Turn off the fsck test for vfat and msdos partitions in fstab # INVOCATION: sed -i.bak -f fix-fstab.sed.txt /etc/fstab # Note: You must run this script as an administrator! # SCRIPT: fix-fstab.sed.txt /^\/dev\/hda.*[ \t]\(vfat\|msdos\)[ \t]/s/^\(\([^ \t][^ \t]*[ \t][ \t]*\)\{5\}\)1/\10/ # ALTERNATIVE SCRIPT: A simpler but less safe version of the above script #/^\/dev\/hda.*[ \t]\(vfat\|msdos\)[ \t]/s/1[ \t]*$/0/ I have tried to post this fix on Bugzilla, but it would not accept my login credentials. Please include a copy of this message on Bugzilla so that the developers could use it to create patch or to prevent fsk check in future versions of Ubuntu/Kubuntu. >From: JohnL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Bug 55121 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [Bug 55121] Re: Ubuntu alters "other" file systems on startup >withFATAL results >Date: Sun, 01 Oct 2006 00:24:41 -0000 > >*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 48806 *** > >Editing fstab works fine.
