fsck trouble on Edgy

Hitboxx · 11-05-2006, 11:53 AM

Hi guys,

I had FC5,Debian Etch and Ubuntu 6.10 and was booting from the grub of ubuntu. Then i installed FC6 over debian and now boot from fedora grub. But whenever i boot ubuntu, i get an fsck error asking me to give root password for maintenance or hit Ctrl-D to continue. After i hit Ctrl-D it boots and works normal.

The log from /var/log/fsck/checkfs

Code:

Why has my fstab changed ??

I don't understand a thing here. Shall i remove these UUID's and proceed as normal?

Also why does ubuntu fsck everytime the system starts? It did even when i had debian.

HELP
Thanks

The thing is, since you formatted it with Fedora, the UUID changed. In fact, I've done just the same you did. To fix it, I disabled fsck from Ubuntu by changing the last number (a 2 in this case) to a 0.
You could also substitute the UUID with the partition and try to see if it works.

You are correct. If I edit /etc/fstab to remove the UUID entries and change to device [ie. /dev/hdaX] then it boots normally while still running fsck on the other partitions. My current /etc/fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/hda2 -- converted during upgrade to edgy
# /dev/hda1 -- converted during upgrade to edgy
/dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ext3 defaults 0 2
# /dev/hda6 -- converted during upgrade to edgy
/dev/hda6 /media/hda6 ext2 defaults 0 2
# /dev/hda7 -- converted during upgrade to edgy
/dev/hda7 /media/hda7 reiserfs defaults 0 2
# /dev/hda5 -- converted during upgrade to edgy
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
UUID=4f326857-460c-4ad7-990d-921916a9e719 / ext3 defaults 1 1

I have also learned that changing the last default # from 2 to 0 means that it then WILL NOT run fsck oin the other partitions. I have not found a way to get it to not run fsck on my primary OS which is currently /dev/hda2.
