[Bug 443080] Re: fsck hangs during forced check at boot

2009-10-05 Thread whoop
Well the current kernel runs fine on my end so I doubt it is related. The reason why I think that it is fsck related is that I have / on sda5 and home on md0. When the system boots fine it will get (at the beginning) an fsck message about sda5 (clean) followed by a fsck message about md0 (clean). W

Well, I got the problem directly after an update of the 2.6.31-11 kernel (it was already installed). I don;t know if this is related. As I have two partitions (system and home), I expect two messages of fsck. However, it only showed clean for system and then it did nothing - no message about my hom

Ernst, every time my machine boots it shows that the partitions are "clean" (at the beginning). The only time it hangs is when a check is forced. So what you are saying is that fsck might have finished and something after that made it stop booting further? -- fsck hangs during forced check at boo

Maybe this bug is related to my bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/443059 I have an ext4 system and ext4 home partition. If the boot fails, it shows that my system partition was clean and after that it stops (no message about a check for my home partition). -- fsc

Yeah, it shouldn't where you run the command, as long as it's a root shell. (or prefix it with "sudo" if you don't have a root shell). If the dd command also hangs, it would be good to check out /var/log/syslog or the output of the "dmesg" command to see if there are any useful messages printed

Theodore, "where" do you want me to run this command?: * recovery concole * karmic live (cd/usb) in a terminal * from the desktop in a terminal * doesn't matter As I am under the impression that this doesn't really matter but I just want to make sure... -- fsck hangs during forced check at boot

Are you sure this isn't a hardware problem? Have you tried something like: "dd if=/dev/sda5 of=/dev/null bs=32k" and see whether it completes or not? -- fsck hangs during forced check at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/443080 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ub
