Dear Anzenketh, Thank you for replying to the bug report. Please read the first post. It gives you the insight what is wrong, now, as well as 2.5 years ago.
To quote fstab(5) man page: "The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. 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." Why does vfat partition have "1" in that sixth field, given by Ubuntu installer, when obvious values for that field are either "0" or "2"? GNU/Linux fsck tools seem to fail on any vfat errors, so maybe "0" would be in order there, would it not? Because it gets checked and fails to be fixed, whole system stops booting right then and there, because root partition is to be remounted read-only on any errors encountered. I'm installing from the 9.10 LiveCD and yes, I'm installing to coexist with Windows (which is already installed); I know that there are better choices than vfat if you go 100% Windows-free. -- vfat partition fscked on every boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125730 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
