Package: systemd Version: 215-12 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
for some time now I noticed that fsck checks the root partition on every boot on both my jessie systems, desktop and notebook. As root file system I use ext4 for both of them. Relevant part from /etc/fstab: # / was on /dev/sda3 during installation LABEL=Root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 LABEL=Home /home ext4 errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 1 For some reason systemd rewrites the superblock of my root partition on every boot: Mär 18 11:35:51 laptop systemd-fsck[149]: Root: Superblock last write time is in the future. Mär 18 11:35:51 laptop systemd-fsck[149]: (by less than a day, probably due to the hardware clock being incorrectly set). FIXED. I have no clue, why systemd assumes the last write time is in the future. My hardware clock is kept in localtime (timezone Europe/Berlin) and I manually checked the bios time before boot. The number of mounts is also resetted when the superblock is rewritten. /etc/adjtime 6053.836117 1406826774 0.000000 1406826774 LOCAL Extract from tune2fs -l /dev/sda3 (root partition): Filesystem created: Fri Oct 28 16:24:01 2011 Last mount time: Wed Mar 18 11:36:16 2015 Last write time: Wed Mar 18 11:35:51 2015 Mount count: 1 Maximum mount count: -1 Last checked: Wed Mar 18 11:35:51 2015 In contrast, my home partition has a mount count of 764 and the last mount time matches the last write time: Filesystem created: Sat Nov 10 18:09:07 2012 Last mount time: Wed Mar 18 11:36:16 2015 Last write time: Wed Mar 18 11:36:16 2015 Mount count: 764 Maximum mount count: -1 Last checked: Sat Nov 10 18:09:07 2012 Another user on the debian-user-german list also reported that fsck runs on every boot (don't know if the superblock is also rewritten). I'm not sure when this error appeared first, but I'm quite sure it wasn't introduced before February this year. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (1001, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages systemd depends on: ii acl 2.2.52-2 ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii initscripts 2.88dsf-58 ii libacl1 2.2.52-2 ii libaudit1 1:2.4-1+b1 ii libblkid1 2.25.2-5 ii libc6 2.19-15 ii libcap2 1:2.24-7 ii libcap2-bin 1:2.24-7 ii libcryptsetup4 2:1.6.6-5 ii libgcrypt20 1.6.2-4+b1 ii libkmod2 18-3 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2+b3 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii libselinux1 2.3-2 ii libsystemd0 215-12 ii mount 2.25.2-5 ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-58 ii udev 215-12 ii util-linux 2.25.2-5 Versions of packages systemd recommends: ii dbus 1.8.16-1 ii libpam-systemd 215-12 Versions of packages systemd suggests: pn systemd-ui <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
