I find it a little hard to believe that the installer created these errors. The installer (or updater) doesn't actually write anything to your hard drive until the end where the packages are installer (or updated). All the updater does is scan the drives for existing installations, and then verifies that all partitions are in a clean state. Are you able to reproduce the errors at all? yes, i can reproduce it. and everytime the installer tries to mount i get the 'mounting unchecked fs, check recommended' messages on console 4 (i think its 4). if i mount them on console 2 manually there are no mount messages. im not quite sure what the installer does mount or how he tries, but he gets error messages and from time to time i get errors on my file-systems after he tried. not everytime, but everytime mount complains about en error in the filesystem in console 4. i also reseted the mount-count on my second partition, which had a mount count of 322 (i dont know why), but the problem remains. katzj, do you know why this would happen? ok, i got the solution. its easy and embarrassing (for me): i added the /usr manually to my fstab. but not with 1 2 flags at the end but with cd-rom like 0 0 flags (dont ask me why. probably lameness). so that means i could check it as often as i wanted, everytime i rebooted my system it wasn't umounted cleanly and therefore dirty for the updater. but since it wasn't in the check-list my system never complained about it (at least 322 times). and as i mounted the partition on console 2 i didn't recognize that all messages go to console 4. so it seemed to me that my mounting was okay while the evil updater on console 4 did dirty things to my partitions. so all i can say is sorry and thanks for your quick help :)) Ok. Glad things are working now. |
Description of Problem: if i try to update with a redhat release >=7.0 the installer tells me that at least one filesystem has not been unmounted cleanly and that i have to fsck it and come back afterwards. the problem is, that all my partitions are error-free before i boot from the install-cd. fsck has been run on all partitions, but the installer still tells me one fs is corrupt. and actually he is right, because after rebooting, fsck finds some errors. but since these errors havent been there before, it seems that the installer (or in this case the updater) creates these errors 'on-the-fly'. if i mount my partitions manually, after booting from the install-cd but before i've choosen to update, mount does not give me any warnings. but after the installer gave me the error-messages i can see the error-messages mount gave as the installer tried to mount my partitions in the console. How Reproducible: boot from install-cd, choose update ;) Additional Information: my partitions are: =========================================================================================================== Disk Geometry Information for Disk 1: 553 Cylinders, 255 Heads, 63 Sectors/Track System PartSect # Boot BCyl Head Sect FS ECyl Head Sect StartSect NumSects =========================================================================================================== 0 0 80 0 1 1 06 153 254 63 63 2,473,947 0 1 00 154 0 1 05 552 254 63 2,474,010 6,409,935 2,474,010 0 00 154 1 1 83 260 254 63 2,474,073 1,718,892 2,474,010 1 00 261 0 1 05 383 254 63 4,192,965 1,975,995 4,192,965 0 00 261 1 1 07 383 254 63 4,193,028 1,975,932 4,192,965 1 00 384 0 1 05 552 254 63 6,168,960 2,714,985 6,168,960 0 00 384 1 1 83 552 254 63 6,169,023 2,714,922 =========================================================================================================== Disk Geometry Information for Disk 2: 1116 Cylinders, 255 Heads, 63 Sectors/Track System PartSect # Boot BCyl Head Sect FS ECyl Head Sect StartSect NumSects =========================================================================================================== WIN952F32 0 0 00 0 1 1 0B 573 254 63 63 9,221,247 0 1 00 574 0 1 05 1023 254 63 9,221,310 8,707,230 Info: End C,H,S values were large drive placeholders.
