P Jones, looks like this time, your /boot or /dev/sda2 was not fscked. Line from your mountall.log: "/dev/sda1: clean, 224/124496 files, 99974/248832 blocks" indicates that fsck was invoked but did not go through the entire filesystem, instead only read through the super block the filesystem is clean. Also your root filesystem is not getting fscked :)
So it does seem that if your file system is getting fscked at boot then something wrong is possibly happening at poweroff/reboot. To verify this, can you please do the following once again: 1) Before rebooting: sudo -s a) umount /boot b) tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 2>&1 > /<some dir you want>/tune2fs-sda1.before-fsck. Attach this here. c) This time run a fsck on it : fsck -V -t ext2 /dev/sda1 2>&1 > /<some dir you want>/fsck-sda1.out. Attach this here d) tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 2>&1 > /<some dir you want>/tune2fs-sda1.after-fsck. Attach this output here. e) Add the --debug switch to the mountall daemon line in /etc/init/mountall.conf. Reboot; Attach the /dev/mountall.log here as mountall-reboot.log f) tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 2>&1 > /<some dir you want>/tune2fs-sda1-after-reboot. Attach this here As expected fsck should not have any effect in the above path. Your output should say that. 2) Now simply reboot without un-mounting /boot and then attach the new /dev/moutall.log as mountall-fresh.log here. We expect fsck to touch your /boot in this case. Also attach the output of tune2fs -l /dev/sda2 2>&1 > /<some dir you want>/tune2fs-sda1.fresh Thanks a lot for your help. -- Disk check on every boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/603966 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
