This happens to me because I dual boot, and Windows and Linux disagree about what time zone to set the system clock to. If Windows decides to change the time (which it sees as local EDT) to what the Internet says it is, and Linux is expecting to see UTC, then if I reboot into Linux after less than four hours in Windows I get dumped to the root shell and have to run fsck.
It seems like this didn't happen to me when I ran Jaunty, though, only after I upgraded to Karmic Beta. Why does this error have to happen, anyway? System clocks are wrong much more often than superblocks, so the sane thing for Ubuntu to do in this situation is not "try to fix the superblock" but "try to fix the clock". -- superblock last write time is in the future https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268808 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
