Today I decided to try 2.4.19 with the pre8 patch, this seems to have resolved the problem so far. It finishes checking /var and proceeds to the next partitions and the boot process completes. After my next full backup I will try to reproduce this again with 2.4.18-4.I did notice some fixes in the changelog, but It is beyond my scope to try to relate these. It almost looks like more of an ide problem if you want my two cents. The reason I say that is the next partiton after /var is /dev/dev/hdb1 that it checks. fsck stalls can be a kernel VM problem, e2fsck should be fine. Thanks, Florian La Roche |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.1 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020417 Description of problem: If I say yes during the boot process after a crash it will get stuck on /var. In single user fsck has no problems. Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda7 1004024 137504 815516 15% / /dev/sda1 46636 19617 24611 45% /boot /dev/sda3 2016044 199776 1713856 11% /home none 257056 0 257056 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda8 774040 37080 697604 6% /tmp /dev/sda2 11551080 3315532 7648776 31% /usr /dev/sda5 1209572 384396 763732 34% /var I have seen this problem with both 7.2 and 7.3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Crash System(nvidia tweaks) 2.Reboot 3.Say yes to check filesystem Actual Results: It will get to /var, give you the impression it is going along fine and then just hang. I made sure to give it plenty of time :-). Expected Results: Should complete cheching partition and continue booting.
