 Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2003 6:03 pm Post subject: fsck scanning on every boot ? |
 |
|
Well. last night, I did | Code: | | emerge -e world --deep |
and then and ofcourse, I overwrote everything, messing alot of stuff up. After I got it all fixed, I noticed fsck now does a scan on every boot (instead of every 22 mounts or 180 days, or something like that it said, correct me if im wrong) and its time consuming and messes up my nice clean booting sequence  . This is what I see every startup: | Code: | * Mounting proc at /proc... [ ok ]
hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-2.1, assigned address 4
* Starting devfsd...
Started device management daemon v1.3.25 for /dev [ ok ]
* Activating (possible) swap... [ ok ]
Adding Swap: 498004K swap-space (priority -1) [ ok ]
* Remounting root filesystem read-only (if necessary)... [ ok ]
* Checking root filesystem...
fsck1.33 (21-Apr-2003)
Reiserfs super block in block 16 on 0X304 of format 3.6 with standard journal
Blocks (total/free): 2172791/1971413 by 4096 bytes
Filesystem seems mounted read-only. Skipping journal replay.
Checking internal tree.. |
here it scans for a bit, then
| Code: | Checking internal tree..finished
* Remounting root filesystem read/write... [ ok ]
* Setting hostname to chris2linux... [ ok ]
* Calculating module dependencies [ ok ]
* Using /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4:
* Loading module 8139too... [ ok ]
* Checking all filesystems...
fsck 1.33 (21-Apr-2003)
/dev/hda2: clean. 29/8032 files, 3645/32130 blocks [ ok ]
* Mounting local filesystems... [ ok ]
* Activating (possibly) more swap... [ok ]
|
and from then on everything seems normal. If anything else is out of place, tips on how to fix em would be helpful, too  . Thanks in advanced, NitzGuy

Well, I have this same problem and wanted to stop fscking everytime I boot. Here is the solution that's supposed to work but didn't - you could try it out:
Remove checkfs from boot time scripts
| Quote: | | rc-update del checkfs boot |
|

Ok I got some help, and figured it out. tune2fs is the command you need.
| Code: |
# tune2fs -c 180 /dev/hda
tune2fs 1.33 (21-Apr-2003)
Setting maximal mount count to 180
|
change /dev/hda to whatever partition fsck is scanning
and scan every 180 mounts is the original default, but you can change it to whatever you want. Then do
| Code: |
# tune2fs -i 2m
tune2fs 1.33 (21-Apr-2003)
Setting interval between check 5184000 seconds
|
You can change the 2m to #m(months) #d(days) #w(weeks).
Im pretty sure this would work, altho fsck is scanning my root partition (reiserfs) and I cant seem to get tune2fs to work because I get:
| Code: |
tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/hda4
Coulsn't find valid filesystem superblock.
|
Good luck to anyone else trying this, as for me, I'm gonna keep trying other things to figure out whats wrong. Nitz |

Now that the topic says this problem is solved, what exactly did you do to solve it? Did tune2fs work?

| Code: | | /dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 0 0 |
What do you have that last field set to?
Quoth the manpage:
| Quote: | | If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked. |

The checkfs/checkroot scripts are still running because they're a dependency of some other init script(s). Localmount I think is one.
grep checkfs /etc/init.d/* and remove the dependencies and that should do it. I'm not saying that's going to be a good idea, but that should make it stop fscking on boot. 
Edit: Haven't actually tried this myself |

I also have this annoying problem on my laptop. But my desktop is working fine (withouth the fcsk coming up every boot).
There is a reiserfstune which is equivalent to tune2fs, I think. Will try it out after my midterms. |
