Ubuntu

fschk runs on my root partition during every boot / reboot

Asked by tadiv

I don't understand why - perhaps it is related to https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/288575 maybe not, but on every boot since I was able to get the system to boot (see https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/288569 ) my root partition is being fschk'ed on every boot / reboot. That seems to me that something is wrong...

Any suggestions?

Tom

Boot to live CD and run a full fsck on the partition.

fsck, not fschk

Yea - the man page really does not help on running a "full fsck" - the partition is sdb2...

do I want fsck -a sdb2?

System response:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck -a /dev/sdb2
fsck from util-linux 2.26.2
/dev/sdb2: clean, 236831/14958592 files, 2408301/59828992 blocks

I'll boot back to the partition and see what happens (as well as what happens with shutdown -h now)...

It ran again on this boot (after the fsck from the CD ROM)

What Ubuntu release are you running?
What is the output of the fsck running at boot time?
Is it similar to "/dev/sdb2: clean, 236831/14958592 files, 2408301/59828992 blocks" or something else

I'll let you know after I get home from work (9 hours or so)...

It's different - for this boot (I'll try again to see if it is different next boot) it is:

fsck from util-linux 2.26.2
/dev/sdb2: clean, 26121/14958592 files, 2534701/59828992 blocks

This is normal. The newest Ubuntu releases perform a quick disk check at every boot.
The message

/dev/sdb2: clean ...

shows that the file system was correctly unmounted and is in a consistent state.
There is nothing to bother about.
