It seems like there are two main issues here. First, what is getting the dates wrong so that fsck reports the inconsistency on the filesystem. It sounds like that is covered in one of the other bugs referenced.
Second problem, is why is mountall just jamming up and not dropping back to a shell to allow manual fscks. I have defeintely seen this behaviour. For some reason when I hit the timestamp inconsistency on / and /boot, mountall died on the failing fsck and prompted for a root shell. However on another (custom) mount from fstab, it seemed like it jammed up mountall's fsck queue. mountall kept running, did not drop to a shell, but never attempted to fsck anything after the thing which failed - including /home. -- UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: fails to boot ("last mount time is in the future") https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432070 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
