FSCK fails on reboot/system start after upgrade

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) After upgrading to 7.1 from 6.1 the system fails to come up in RL3 but rather bombs out on the fsck and drops to RL1 - maintenace mode. Did we not see this in RH 6.1 where there was a problem with the initscripts not shutting down the system in a clean state. http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-1999-052.html http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHEA-1999-047.html (At least it happened before and these fixed it) I can run an fsck/e2fsck on the affected filesystem with no PII 266Mhz - 64 Mb RAM - 128 Mb SWAP configured /dev/hda - Seagate 4.6GB /dev/hdb - IBM Deskstor 10.1 GB Both drives have worked flawlessly and there is no reason to believe there is any corruption on any filesystems - nothing to cause it I am willing to allow one of your techs to telnet to my machine if it is deemed this is something that may better serve the community. Of course you will need to contact me. cbh303@mnsinc.com Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Either start the machine or reboot 2. 3. Actual Results: Fails the startup due to reported problems reported by fsck. When the fsck is then run manually there are no errors and mount -a works allowing a telinit 3 to be accomplished and then I am on the system. Of course this is sort of a problem as I will never be able to tell for sure whether the really is a problem or not. Expected Results: There should have been no problem since there was no file system corruption reported by the fsck when it was run manually
What is the error output when you e2fsck is started at bootup and exits? Thanks, Florian La Roche
