 Posted: Fri Oct 08, 2004 7:33 am Post subject: reiserfs fsck never runs |
 |
|
Hello,
I just converted a disk from ext3 to reiserfs, and I'm seeing this at boot:
| Code: |
* Remounting root filesystem read-only (if necessary)...
* Checking root filesystem...
...
Filesystem is NOT cleanly umounted.
Filesystem seems mounted read-only. Skipping journal replay.
Checking internal tree..finished
* Remounting root filesystem read/write...
|
Then it proceeds to reiserfsck the second partition on the disk (replays the journal, etc). Well that's great, but the root fs needs to be checked too!
So after logging in, I run fsck -a / (same as the init script does), and then it says it can't check the partition because it's mounted WITH write permissions!!?! So... it won't check it if it's ro, and it won't check it if it's r/w. Thanks, reiserfs.
At that point I can mount -o remount,ro / and try fsck again, and then s/ro/rw and fsck again... either way, it just tells me it can't because it's mounted ro or rw. What the crap!
What can I do?

| If neither ro nor rw works, you should try umounted. Simply boot on the live CD and check your partition from there. |

Yeah, but I'm concerned about the regular fsck-ing that's supposed to happen every so many mounts or days. I don't want to have to manually do that... and if reiserfsck won't do it no matter how it's mounted, I don't see how reiserfs can be used as a boot+root partition.

Ditto on that "problem"
but during some kernel testing I had to reboot using the switch and when next I booted my ordenary kernel it actually fixed the problem despite writing the usual crap - just got an extra line in yellow that told me it had fixed it...
but this isn't exclusive to reiserfs - my /boot is ext2 and for the last 30 or so boots it has said "will chek on next mount" ( or somthing to that effect ), but once again after my little accident it got fixed and now the message is gone. so this is properly an error in the rc scripts... |

When I boot I get an error about fsck, I don't know exactly what it is and I don't know where the log file is for the stuff after dmesg. But I have a feeling that it has to do with this error when I try to run fsck on any of my reiserfs partitions. | Code: | root # fsck /dev/hda1
fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
fsck: fsck.reiserfs: not found
fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.reiserfs for /dev/hda1
|
Anyone know how to fix this?

The solve for my stupidity would be to emerge reiserfsprogs, just incase anyone was wondering
