Greetings. I am (well: was) using the current version of e2fsprogs (1.38+1.39-WIP-2005.12.10-1), and every-other boot gives the above error message for the root partition, followed by stopping the boot process and offering the opportunity to get into maintenance mode to run fsck by hand. The root partition is marked dirty.
Whether or not I run fsck by hand, or just Ctrl-D to continue, the next boot runs fsck on the root partition, finds nothing wrong, marks it clean, and boots normally. The next reboot brings up the error again. As someone pointed out (http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/01/msg00408.html), and as I observed in the Debian changelogs for this version on the machine(s) in question, it seems like the fix for this bug is intended to adress this very problem, but it does not seem to do so on my machines. Rolling back to e2fsprogs/e2fslibs 1.37-2sarge1 makes the problem go away. (I had 1.38-2 in the interval, but I can't find a copy of this version at the moment, so I don't know if it solves the problem.) Note: My hardware and software clocks are both correct, and both set to local time. I have: /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific (which works fine), and /etc/defaults/rcS has UTC=no. Please let me know if you need further information.
