Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.40.11-1
Severity: normal
On startup, fsck -A, called from /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh, apparently tries to
check all filesystems listed in /etc/fstab, including those with option noauto.
I have an external USB-disk for backups and since some recent update, I get
consistently dropped to the maintenance console on startup, no matter if the
disk is powered on or not.
In /etc/fstab I have
LABEL=rsnapshot /usr/var/cache/rsnapshot auto
noauto,ro,user,noatime,nodiratime 0 2
and I also tried
UUID=ea5196c8-ee9a-4297-9bfc-42148eb82c30 /usr/var/cache/rsnapshot auto
noauto,ro,user,noatime,nodiratime 0 2
Both, label and uuid, are correctly mapped to /dev/sdb1 in /etc/blkid.tab.
Nevertheless, I get the following error message in /var/log/fsck/checkfs
Log of fsck -C -V -R -A -a

fsck 1.40.11 (17-June-2008)
Checking all file systems.
[/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /usr/var/cache/rsnapshot] fsck.ext3 -a -C0 /dev/sdb1
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
fsck died with exit status 8
When the disk is attached and powered on, it might not be available yet, as the
timestamp in /var/log/syslog indicates
Jun 25 08:10:22 debby kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk
At any rate, fsck should not try to check disk that aren't there.
