*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 48806 ***
Hi,
this is in fact not one bug, but three:
1) dosfsck is buggy
2) other file systems are checked during boot
3) file system checks depend on a buggy program
I'm pretty much interested in fixing 1). So any useful info how
reproduce this are highly appreciated.
As I'm most of the time just a user of ubuntu, I'm not interested in 2)
and 3), because for me it just works. However here are some comments to
these, but these reflect only my humble opinion:
2) please define "other file systems":
I have a ext3 FS which I use to store various data on. It's neither vital nor
in any way necessary for ubuntu to work. Would this also fall under this
catagory?
Imho there is only a point in making a distinction between rw-mounted file
systems and ro-mounted ones.
3) that's a serious bug indeed, fixing the installer would fix that. Of
course fixing 1) would also fix that.
I don't think that the warning thingy might get us anywhere closer. For me
personally dosfsck never ate any files, so you'd make me unhappy if I suddenly
couldn't write to my fat32 partition or in case it does get corrupted if it
wouldn't be fixed on boot.
However other bugs have shown that dosfsck is indeed buggy, and with the help
of the submitters I could provide a fix for some of these.
Thanks,
Stefan aka sistpoty.
