Wrong version of FSCK: HOW TO ?
After a few emerges, I now get the following error on BOOT up.
Code:
fsck.ext3: Filesystem has unsupported feature(s) (/) But when I try emerge fsck or emerge e2fsck, I get package not found... What do I really need to emerge a new copy of fsck? what is it a part of? ---------------------------------------------- I've already tried: Code:
emerge e2fsprogs |
Hello,
Have you tried to give root password and then run fsck.ext3 manually (without options) on your root partition??? |
I don't even know what fsck does!
|
fsck does a filesystem check which is very usefull when you have an unexpected reboot. To make simple, this prog will for example at the next boot correct bugs on your filesystem due to an unexpected reboot whereas your PC did a write access on your disk.
So enter your root password and run: fsck.ext3 and answer yes to all the questions ;) |
Okay, from your discussion I have the basic idea that fsck is something like Windows Scandisk or Checkdisk.
And like those programs, is almost compulsory when you have a freeze-up of crash. Can you also tell me if there are any differences between the Windows version and the linux version, and also, What is the difference between fsck and fsck.ext3 ? Are they different binary files? |
difference between Windows utility and Linux one's... no idea :confused: I've never really used the Windows one's :rolleyes:

Code:
fsck -t ext3 = fsck.ext3 |
has anybody figured out this problem
I have the same problem on my laptop, running ubuntu hoary: unrecognized features of the / partition (ext3) -- get a newer version of e2fsck. The thing is, doing an e2fsck on a mounted partition is not recommended. Everything else is working just great, and (after trying Debian and Fedora), I am about to decide that ubuntu is the best solution for me and my computer... if it wasn't fro this!
Help please! Vince |
ok the problem seems to be in your fstab file
Have u mounted any device in that file If yes go to rescue mode and remove it |
Hi,
nope, it doesn't help. Here is my fstab file now: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda4 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda3 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 #/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 #/dev/hda1 /mnt/WinXP vfat defaults,auto,uid=95,gid=95 0 0 I've tried to keep only what is vital, but still have the same error message. |

yeah right.
for sure, I am not going to mount it as a ext2. I am not sure it is wise to remove the "errors=remount-ro" part. I guess I can try it. What's the worse that can happen ? ;-) V |
OK, as I expected, I have tried with:
/dev/hda4 / ext3 defaults 1 1 and that didn't help. Thanks anyway... V |
did u check out for bad sectors on your HDD
Well onto my opinion you should build a fstab file of default configuration and see if it works or not |
