The error messages are (more accurately in order): 1. .... device busy 2. .... device not mounted 3 .... illegal seek.
There was a log of this all over google but no solutions. I tried -l in the umount (/etc/init.d/umountfs) -- I did this in an appropriate startup script when I got similar errors in umounting the initrd. I followed that with a sleep 5 to give things time to stabilize. Results: No error messages appear, BUT the journal of the offending partition must be recovered at each reboot. Thank G-d for ext3. Any ideas for a real and correct solution? <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Now that I have my multi-partition file system up and running: One of the partitions (mounted /usr/share) does not dismount in an orderly manner on shutdown. I get messages like: Illegal seek .... ...hdb6 not mounted ... File system is OK on restart. (The first time, I needed ext3 journal recovery but this has not recurred.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
