Description Aleksey Nogin 2004-03-05 21:18:25 EST

To reproduce: 

1) Create a situation where on boot a fsck of / succeeds in restoring
the filesystem, but changes it enough to issue the "Reboot LINUX"
message. (You might need to use ext2 for / in order for this to happen).

Expected/desired:

rc.sysinit reboots the machine.

Actual:

rc.sysinit goes to "An error occurred during the file system check.
Dropping you to a shell; ..." routine.

This is especially unpleasant if the reboot is unattended.

Component versions:

I am seeing this with initscripts-7.46-1.1 and e2fsprogs-1.35-6.1 on
an AMD Opteron.

What's the return code of e2fsck in this case?

Comment 2 Aleksey Nogin 2004-03-08 15:42:39 EST

Here is what the man page says:

EXIT CODE
       The  exit  code  returned  by e2fsck is the sum of the
following conditions:
            0    - No errors
            1    - File system errors corrected
            2    - File system errors corrected, system should
                   be rebooted
            4    - File system errors left uncorrected
            8    - Operational error
            16   - Usage or syntax error
            32   - E2fsck canceled by user request
            128  - Shared library error

Comment 5 Michael McLagan 2004-07-20 13:10:06 EDT

At line 297 of rc.sysinit from initscripts-7.55 
change to:

	elif [ "$rc" = "1" ]; then
	        passed "$STRING"
		echo
	elif [ "$rc" = "2" -o "$rc" = "3" ]; then
	        passed "$STRING"

       		echo $"Unmounting file systems"
		umount -a
		mount -n -o remount,ro /
		echo $"Automatic reboot in 
progress."
		reboot -f
	elif [ $rc -gt 3 ]; then
	        if [ -x /usr/bin/rhgb-client ] && 
/usr/bin/rhgb-client --ping ; then
		    chvt 1
		fi

Also add the above at line 577 of the modified file.

This reboots in the appropriate cases.
