Filesystem check failed, but filesystems are clean

Im running custom kernel and this might be related to it, but Im on my wits' end here and looking for pointers.
The problem is, Im getting filesystem check failed every time I boot my system. And it gives no apparent reason
for it to happen. I have fsck'd my partitions many times and they are clean. My hwclock is in time and rc.conf is set
to 'localtime'. The problem didn't occurs on the previous kernel (2.6.18) I had, so I've been using its running config to
compile the new one (2.6.23). The thing is, the previous kernel works fine, no filesystem check failed in boot. Only
difference between those two is I had to enable HOTPLUG in the newer kernel to get udev working, otherwise it would
complain about failing netlink socket in initscript.
As a temporary solution, I commented out the filesystem check from the rc.sysinit and it boots further. This time
it fails to mount my /boot/ and /home/ directory and fails to activate my swap. Effectively only root is mounted, but
after logging in, "mount -a" works without any problems and I can use my system normally.
I have compiled all(?) the needed modules to the kernel, so initramfs shouldn't be needed, but I've tried it anyway, no
luck there. The system is build with 2009.08 core install disc, no packages updated as far as I recall.

should I have /boot and /home in /dev?
Full system upgrade gave me the same issue. Even after udev downgrade (udev-142 is the latest I can use with 2.6.23).
Edit:
Changed my fstab back from by-uuid to hdaX, didn't help. Strangely all hdaX are in /dev/ after boot, but the symlinks are missing.

  • User equivalence check failed in solaris 10

    Hi,
    i am trying to install oracle clusterware on solaris10.
    when i executed clusture varification utility , user equivalence test is failed.
    each node have same username,userid,group id
    and i configured SSH also using
    exec /user/bin/ssh-agent
    /usr/bin/ssh-add after generation of rsa and dsa keys and putting this to authorization file.
    it is not asking password for ssh and scp after executing this command but again user equivalence check failed
    but after logging of and do login again to oracle user its not working. then again i have to set ssh that is
    exec /user/bin/ssh-agent
    /usr/bin/ssh-add
    wat else i have to check for this?
    can sombody help me to solve this

  • EMC - Certificate status could not be determined because revocation check failed.

    I've exhausted my resources on this issue and am reaching out for some assistance. I have setup Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1, running Exchange 2010 SP1. In EMC I have successfully imported a GoDaddy SSL certificate. Although I am receiving the message -
    "The certificate status could not be determined because the revocation check failed."
    Here are the steps I've taken to troubleshoot this so far:
    [PS] C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>netsh winhttp show proxy
    Current WinHTTP proxy settings:
    Direct access (no proxy server).
    As you can see, direct access. Which is true, no proxy's on this network.
    For good measure, I'll dump the urlcache.
    certutil -urlcache ocsp delete
    certutil -urlcache crl delete
    Both return 0, reboot server.
    Comes back up, same message in EMC.
    From PS, I test exactly what its getting from GoDaddy.

  • "FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED" - fresh install, clean partition

    Hi,
    I just installed Arch on my Asus EEE 701SD. Since GRUB is extremely slow (takes about 30-45 seconds from "loading..." to menu) I've set up my /boot on a separate flash drive. However, booting the new installation gives me the "FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED" + maintenance shell. I've tried running fsck with various options but none of it has helped. Apparently, the partition is clean so I'm not quite sure what's going on. Any suggestions?
    Cheers:)

    The hook "usb" should work too, so I don't think we're on the right track here. But since it doesn't hurt you can add the actual kernel modules to the modules= line:
    usbcore ehci-hcd (and/or uhci-hcd) usb-storage and maybe the filesystem used (and it's dependencies like ciphers).
    Greets,
    demian
    // I guess I'm a slow typer. Why don't you show us your /etc/fstab?
    From what you've written the system shouldn't be able to boot since there's no fstab entry for /boot. Maybe I misunderstood you.

  • [SOLVED] "Filesystem check failed" during boot process

    I was using XFCE on my netbook recently and clicked "shutdown".  It logged out to the command prompt and nothing happened.  Assuming that I'd clicked "logout" by mistake, I typed "pacman -Syu" to run an update...  And moments later it suddenly started the shutdown process.
    Now, whenever I boot up, I see the message below.  I tried booting from a GParted CD to check the filesystems for errors, but none were detected.
    Can anyone suggest what I might need to do to fix the problem?
    rootfs: clean, 11026/246512 files, 477083/984576 blocks
    home: clean, 4386/527280 files, 237183/2105344 blocks

    I don't exactly know how I should "repair manually"...  I thought a filesystem check in GParted would have been enough...
    lijpbasin wrote:You can boot the system using a archlinux live cd, and run fsck manually on every linux partition in the old system with options.
    DON'T mount any of the filesystems before running fsck, or your data will probably be lost. If you want to check the partition information first, run fdisk -l with root privileges.
    Thanks.  I tried booting from an ArchBang live CD last night and ran "e2fsck -pcv" on each partition.  The check completed, but the problem persists...  I just tried again using "fsck" as you suggested and got the following output (but the machine still fails to boot with the same error as before):

    Gcool wrote:
    /dev/sdb2 is mounted. e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.
    As mentioned already, the reason it's failing is because the /dev/sdb2 partition is mounted before it can be fsck'd. What is this partition exactly (which filesystem, what's on it, mountpoint,...)?
    I'm not overly familiar with the Linux boot process, but why would it suddenly be mounting this partition before fsck-ing it?  Even if it was mounted when the netbook shutdown, surely the boot process starts with all partitions unmounted...?  Anyway, the partition details from /etc/fstab are below.
    <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
    /dev/sda1 / ext2 defaults,noatime 0 1
    /dev/sdb1 /home ext2 defaults,noatime,user_xattr 0 1
    /dev/sdb2 /usr ext2 defaults,noatime 0 1
    I'm (now) aware that mounting /usr as a separate partition is a bad idea and (having read the "Error when booting with the new initscripts" thread), I have told pacman to ignore updates to the initscripts package (until I figure out how best to work round or fix that issue).
    Shark wrote:Write umount /dev/sdb2 in konsole or unmount partition in gparted by right click on problematic partition and click unmount. Than proced.
    If I type "umount /dev/sdb2" at the prompt, I get the following error:
    umount: /usr: device is busy.
    (In some cases useful info about processes that use
    the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
    I tried "umount -l /dev/sdb2" to unmount when the device becomes free... but it never does.
    I also booted into GParted, but there is no option to "unmount" /dev/sdb2.  There is a "mount" option in the menu, but it is greyed out.  If I open a terminal window from the GParted Live environment and type "sudo umount /dev/sdb2" I get the following message:
    umount: /dev/sdb2: not mounted
    DSpider wrote:Are you mounting the root drive with "ro" (read only) in fstab?
    No (as shown above).  I don't *think* I've messed anything up with fstab or any other config files -- everything was working perfectly till the netbook shutdown whilst pacman was running.

  • First boot - filesystem check failed.

    I just installed Arch on a clean drive. Newly partitioned with /, /home, and swap partitions. After installation and a reboot, GRUB loads. Then after a while loading the OS, it says filesystem check failed.
    /dev/hda1:
    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 comething else), then the suberblock
    is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
    Running that command gives:

  • [Solved (initscripts-splash plroblem)] Filesystem check failed

    Hello, my arch i686 sudently doesn't boot.
    At system start, after loading kernel, the boot process stops and says "FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED" give root password for maintenance or control+D for restart.
    My root partition (dev/sda2) is reiserfs formated, and arch updated this week.
    After reading a while I booted with Arch install CD and tried the follwing:
    fsck.reiserfs --check /dev/sda2
    fsck.reiserfs --fix-fixable /dev/sda2
    fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-sb /dev/sda2
    fsck.reiserfs --clean-attributes /dev/sda2
    But no errors were found or fixed, so I can't boot arch yet.
    Are there any other way to fix the filesystem?
    can filesystem check be skipped?
    please help

    Or start in sinle-user. At the grub boot menu, select the option that lets you edit the kernel parameters.
    Add either a '1' or 'single' to the end of the kernel parameters, then continue booting up.

    of course I know where I installled Arch.

    I don't think installing a year old initscripts package would solve it, but you were very helpful.
    Finally I could solve it with the recovery console:
    After the error message I typed root password to log in, then remounted root partition for r/w:

    Finally I had to remove the package initscripts-splash and install initscripts form core.
    ifconfig eth0 up
    dhcpcd eth0
    pacman -Syu
    pacman -Rs initscripts-splash
    pacman -S initscripts
    exit
    **You should make a backup of rc.conf before installing initscripts, because installing initscrips will overwrite it (and a few other files i hadn't modified), and pacman was supoussed to back it up, but it didn't

  • Filesystem check failed while booting [SOLVED]

    I tried to get some help from my previous post but got no answers, so I'll summarize in hope of getting an answer:
    I've installed linux before windows because I had this operating system before. But, when I've partitioned I've made a NTFS type 83 for windows, cause I know I'd install it later on.
    Now, I've restored my bootloader (grub) but when I try to boot my arch linux copy, a message tells me that my partition sda2 which is my Windows one, isn't clean or corrupt.
    all my linux partition are clean, but my NTFS windows partition make me unable to boot on my linux OS with this error msg:
    fsck.ext4: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda2
    /dev/sda2:
    The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext filesystem. If the devine is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swao or ufs or simething else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superbloc:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
    Next I can do is entering the root psw and use the command line, I really need help to restore my linux partition without formating anything, please.
    My guess is that linux doesn't reorganize the partition as it is NTFS and doesn't boot for this reason, but didn't find how to fix it over internet yet, some help would be really appreciated.

    I really have to write by hands, so if you wants more info tell me and I'll write more.
    it's strange, could you explain me what does mean hd1 or hd0? isn't the 1st and second hard drive? and the second array the partition? cause if so, i've only 1 drive. But I'm probably not correct. Hope you get enough info to get me out of this problem!
    And no, I'm not using UUIDs, thx for your suggestion!

  • "FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED" after pacman -Syu

    Hi all,
    After a sucessfull 'pacman -Syu' (in which i didnt see any 'todo' messages but it did have a kernel upgrade) archlinux cannot start and i just get to a message similar talking about my root partition (ext3):
    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>
    ******************* FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED *************
    * Please repair manually and reboot. Note that the root *
    * filesystem is currently mounted read-only. To remount *
    * it read-write type: mount -n -o remount,rw / *
    * When you exit the mantenance shel the system will *
    * reboot automatically. *
    I restarted with a livecd and 'e2fscked' the partition (which btw found many errors that were corrected by it) but archlinux still gives me the same message. I have checked the partition again and again a thousand times but it always comes up clean, im even able to mount it from the different livecds i have tried and can read and create files on it so im pretty sure it is fine.
    And so my question is, does anyone know why this is happening? How comes archlinux keeps seeing a problem in this partition when others dont? What am i doing wrong?
    An y answer appreciated.

    Hi again,
    I have done some testing, maybe it will help.
    After the failure message i put roots password and i got dropped to a shell, if i try to find the root partition (eg. ls /dev/sda) gives an error cause it sda doesnt exists.
    If i edit rc.sysinit with a livecd and remove the fsck part i get a few diferent errors, some about partitions not being found and similar stuff. In my little knowledge of linux it ooks to me like it doesnt load the sata module or somethig...
    I copy here the pacman.log file, i remember that the update was a huge one, around 400 Mbytes if i remember correctly:

  • Filesystem Check Failed - Mounted

    After having a little trouble getting XFCE to start automatically like KDE did, I played around with some settings using a SLAX LiveCD.  Since then, I'm unable to boot for a different reason: Filesystem Check Failed.
    The only thing that seems to be the problem is that /dev/sdb1 is, as it says, "mounted".  When I am prompted to fix it myself, I find that the system is confused as to whether it is mounted.
    Typing "mount" produces
    /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/sto type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
    Yet typing "umount /dev/sdb1" produces
    umount: dev/sdb1: not found
    umount /mnt/sto: not found
    umount: dev/sdb1: not found
    umount /mnt/sto: not found
    cd to /mnt/sto and using dir or ls -a also shows me nothing.
    The following is displayed upon "reboot"
    shutdown: /dev/initctl: No such file or directory
    init: /dev/initctl: No such file or directory
    Finally, the files I remember having edited in SLAX and partially ARCH.  I'm not sure how correct these are, but I didn't think trying to fix up XFCE was going to create such a problem:

    Please let me know if I'm missing any information.  I'm currently running Windows, but luckily have full access to my root partition.
    Thanks in advance.
    P.S. /dev/sdb1 is no longer being shown in Windows OR SLAX.  I predicted Windows, but can't think why it won't show up in SLAX.

    Never mind, the fsck seemed to complete just fine .

    It didn't take that long, I just expected a progress bar, like with other drives.
    Thanks anyway!  Time to see if Arch boots without problems.

  • Filesystem check failed - Linux won't boot

    I did a search on this forum, and this error ("Filesystem check failed") comes up a few times, but always after its user resized his partitions or did something to his fstab. Which is not my case.
    For two days, I've been getting this error at boot. Just before getting the error, I can see that both my / and /home partitions are checked and raise no errors. However, when it gets to my /boot partition, I get the following message.
    Filesystem mounted or used by another program ?
    I have no clue as to what's happening. My current partitions, for the record, are
    /boot /dev/sdb1 ext2
    / /dev/sdb2 ext3
    /home /dev/sdb3 ext3
    If you need any other info to help my solve my problem, just ask. Thanks !

    4th attempt to restore successful!
    Will attempt to verify disk and make second attempt to install Mavs.

  • Disk order changes, grub problem, filesystem check failed

    I'm having some problems installing Archlinux onto a machine with a lot of SATA drives, some connected by SATA cards. I have tried the 2009-08 netinstaller burned to CD, both -x86_64.iso and -x86_64-isolinux.iso, and I have the same problem with both.
    I am installing from a USB-connect optical drive to an Intel X25-M 80GB SSD connected to a motherboard SATA port. I also have 2 HDDs connected to motherboard SATA ports, and 4 more HDDs connected to 4 SIL-based PCIe SATA cards. Additionally, I have a 4GB Patriot USB flash drive connected to a motherboard USB port. None of the HDDs have a bootable MBR, I am planning to create an mdadm RAID with the HDDs, but the USB flash drive is bootable. The motherboard is an Asus Z8PE-D18 with the latest BIOS, in AHCI mode.
    First thing to note is that I was able to successfully install Fedora 12 linux to this machine in the exact configuration that I am trying to install Archlinux. I just installed Fedora 12 again last night, and it installed and loaded fine when I rebooted from the SSD.
    So, the problems I am having with Archlinux. During install, I found that the SSD is showing up as either /dev/sde or /dev/sdf. This is odd since it was /dev/sda with Fedora. It makes sense for it to be /dev/sda, since it is on the first motherboard SATA port. But I proceeded with the Archlinux install, and grub seemed to detect the stage1 location properly -- root was set to (hda4,0) or (hda5,0) depending on whether the SSD was at sde or sdf. The kernel root was configured by UUID, so that does not depend on the drive order. Okay so far.
    The problem shows up on reboot. The bootloader immediately complains that there is no such partition sde1 or sdf1. I drop into a grub command line and do
    find /boot/grub/stage1
    and it replies with (hd0,0), so I modify the boot line to root (hd0,0) and boot. Now it gets pretty far. Lots of boot messages scroll by. Here are some of the last few before the problem:
    Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/22a35aa2-9799-4575-b1eb-456e819a1a26 ...

    ::Mounting Root Read-only
    ::Checking Filesystems
    /dev/sdf1:
    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
    **** FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED
    * Please repair manually and reboot. Note that the root file system
    * is currently mounted read-only....
    Give root password for maintenance
    So I logged in as root and did an fdisk -l. The boot SSD was at /dev/sde. The menu.lst has root as (hd5,0), which would be sdf (which was correct during installation, but the disk order apparently changed). The kernel root= in menu.lst used by-uuid, and it at least points to the correct drive, which I suppose is why I was able to boot as far as I did, but when it tries to mount the root filesystem, it fails as shown above.
    So, at initial grub boot, the grub stage1 is found at (hd0,0). During installation, the SSD was sdf, but after booting the kernel, the SSD is sde. What is going on?
    One other experiment  is that I pulled all the drives (including USB flash drive) except the SSD. The HDDs are in hot-swap slots, so that was easy. The PCIe SATA cards are still plugged into the PCIe slots. Then I was able to successfully install and boot Archlinux. But when I plugged the drives back in and rebooted, I had the same problem as detailed above.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I had the same problem.
    Last week I installed Arch onto a new SATA HD. I wanted to make sure the installation worked before I attached the other drives. On booting with the other drives attached, similar messages.
    My solution:
    Login as root.
    Follow the instruction to mount / as read-write so you can make changes to the filesystem.
    edit /etc/fstab and eliminate the references to /dev/sdxx and replace them with UUIDs or labels (as suggested above) as these won't change.
    in /etc/fstab ...
    # external data sources
    #data /dev/sdb6
    UUID=931d7107-1241-4d82-ad28-fcbe7af8ba69 /data ext3 defaults 0 0
    #Documents /dev/sda9
    /dev/disk/by-label/Documents /data/Documents ext3 defaults 0 0
    Reboot and you should be good.
    You can find the UUID of the drives by using
    $ blkid
    or you can set a drive label with e2label, assuming you are using ext2,3 or 4
    Good luck.
