[Bug 1797282] Re: fsck not running at all on reboot
In my case, Ubuntu 18.04 running on AWS, the problem was as follows: 1. /etc/fstab had 0 in the 6th (passno) field. I presume this is the default that AWS places there, or maybe this is determined by the Ubuntu template on AWS. 2. According to a comment that I found on Stack Overflow, this is used by mkinitramfs to decide not to put fsck in the initrd. This is *in no way* obvious. 3. Without fsck in the initrd, it can't run the fsck, so it just prints a message instead. This message tells you that a fsck is recommended, but it doesn't tell you why it hasn't done one. To fix this: 1. I changed /etc/fstab to have a "1" in the passno field 2. update-initramfs -u 3. reboot, and the check runs as expected. I think the following changes should be made: 1. There should be a console warning during startup if the root volume cannot be checked because fsck is not available. 2. If /etc/fstab is coming from an Ubuntu-controlled template, then passno for the root volume should be set to 1. I know that AWS will fail to boot the instance if the fsck goes interactive, necessitating manual repairs, but surely failing to boot the instance is better than silently running on a corrupt root filesystem. 3. This should be in some documentation somewhere. The fact that mkinitramfs will exclude fsck from the initrd if it thinks you don't need it is particularly obscure. If there is some kind of "getting started with Ubuntu on AWS" then this should be in there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797282 Title: fsck not running at all on reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1797282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1797282] Re: fsck not running at all on reboot
I'm seeing this on an Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS system running on top of LVM. In my case, I get: *** /dev/mapper/wolf-root will be checked for errors at next reboot *** Having to dig out a 16.04 LTS Server USB stick every time I need to run FSCK is extremely inconvenient. It turns an unattended maintenance job into one that requires a lot of hand-holding.

I've been unable to recreate this on an Ubuntu installation of Ubuntu 16.04.5 which I then upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04. If I set 'tune2fs -c1' for my root partition it is checked for errors on every boot. I'll have someone test with an AWS EC2 instance. @dman777 while you say you set -c1 the output of tune2fs indicates it (Check interval) is set to 0. ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797282 Title: fsck not running at all on reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1797282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1797282] Re: fsck not running at all on reboot
This is probably not assigned to the right package. It's not an issue with e2fsprogs, but whatever component is running fsck. This might be systemd, or upstart, or whatever the heck Ubuntu is using these days. I lost track a while ago. :-) I can tell, you as the Debian maintainer of e2fsprogs, that fsck runs *just* *fine* on Debian testing. With Debian, using systemd (which is the default), the systemd units which run fsck are generated by the systemd-fstab-generator program which is part of systemd. So the main issue is whether anyone on the Canonical/Ubuntu team is paying attention. I pay attention in case people report e2fsprogs bugs, but this is not an e2fsprogs issue. And I don't use Ubuntu so I can't really help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797282 Title: fsck not running at all on reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/1797282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Can this be bumped up to a high importance? This is a major issue as not checking the file system leads to a broken system. ** Tags added: bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1797282 Title: fsck not running at all on reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/1797282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1797282] Re: fsck not running at all on reboot
I am having this issue also. fsck is not running on my root drive on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server edition I have tried fsck.mode=force in grub on the kernel command line to no success. I have set the mount count to 1 with tune2fs -c 1 /dev/sda2 and rebooted and still no fsck. Instead I just get a text message saying you need to do a fsck on /dev/sda2. -- one@localhost:~$ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda2 tune2fs 1.44.1 (24-Mar-2018) Filesystem volume name: Last mounted on: / Filesystem UUID: 36589912-c6ab-11e8-93a6-7085c27cfaec Filesystem magic number: 0xEF53 Filesystem revision #:1 (dynamic) Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent 64bit flex_bg sparse_super large_file huge_file dir_nlink extra_isize metadata_csum Filesystem flags: signed_directory_hash Default mount options:user_xattr acl Filesystem state: clean Errors behavior: Continue Filesystem OS type: Linux Inode count: 6160384 Block count: 24641536 Reserved block count: 1232076 Free blocks: 19441110 Free inodes: 5417720 First block: 0 Block size: 4096 Fragment size:4096 Group descriptor size:64 Reserved GDT blocks: 1024 Blocks per group: 32768 Fragments per group: 32768 Inodes per group: 8192 Inode blocks per group: 512 Flex block group size:16 Filesystem created: Tue Oct 2 20:25:28 2018 Last mount time: Tue Oct 9 22:14:49 2018 Last write time: Tue Oct 9 22:13:35 2018 Mount count: 25 Maximum mount count: 1 Last checked: Tue Oct 2 20:25:28 2018 Check interval: 0 () Lifetime writes: 179 GB Reserved blocks uid: 0 (user root) Reserved blocks gid: 0 (group root) First inode: 11 Inode size: 256 Required extra isize: 32 Desired extra isize: 32 Journal inode:8 First orphan inode: 1591485 Default directory hash: half_md4 Directory Hash Seed: 5dcfe344-2b26-4b50-97e1-21952c171d2b Journal backup: inode blocks Checksum type:crc32c Checksum: 0x305a8ddb I am not running on cloud, just a home PC with AMD Ryzen 5 --- Linux localhost 4.15.0-36-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 24 16:19:09 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux No LSB modules are available.
