Description of problem: After rebooting (via the command line "reboot" command or the Reboot button on the greeter), I get kernel: EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem. sometimes I see orphan inodes deleted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-8.39-1 SysVinit-2.86-11 kernel-2.6.17-1.2647.fc6 How reproducible: 5 out of 5 reboots Steps to Reproduce: 1. reboot 2. look for "INFO: recovery required" 3. Actual results: Error message present Expected results: No error message Additional info: I'm marking this as initscripts, but I really don't know where the problem is. This is on completely new FC6t3 installation (i.e. I didn't upgrade or reuse pre-existing filesystems).

So I'm not the only one having this problem. One thing I just noticed is that during shutdown the system complains something about unable to unmount LVM volume group. This does not happen every time, though.
After upgrading to initscripts-8.41-1, I've rebooted my machine three times and no recovery has been needed.
That's... odd. Nothing of relevance changed in that area.
Initscripts could be a red herring. Typically I do yum update at least once a day, so much more than initscripts was updated, but the kernel wasn't nor was SysVinit. I'll make the system reboot in a loop and see if I get any errors. I'll report back either way, but if I don't get any errors, I'll attach a copy of my yum.log. BTW, I removed orca, because I don't need it and it was interfering with my ability to update. I doubt that's related, but I try to be complete.
Created attachment 136881 [details] Portion of yum.log that lists updates between bad and good reboots
I've now done 10 reboots since my last round of yum updates. None of them required ext3 recovery. Prior to that round of yum updates, 5 of the last 5 had recoveries. Attached to comment #6 is the portion of yum.log that lists those updates. I can provide copies of my messages file or other logs if it will help.
Closing, then - I can't reproduce this either. Please reopen if it comes back.
