Description of problem: I installed fedora 11 beta x86_64 a while back from the DVD. I reused an old ext3 partition, telling it to reformat it as ext3. I am now seeing the boot messages from fsck saying that the partition is scheduled for a forced fsck check in 4 more boot attempts. Previous versions of anaconda always adjusted the tune2fs parameters in newly formatted ext3 partitions so none of these forced fsck checks would occur. Perhaps this is an unintended side effect of the great storage system rewrite? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): whatever was on the fedora 11 beta DVD How reproducible: I only installed once, but I'm guessing it would do the same every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. install from DVD 2. reformat an ext3 partition during install 3. Actual results: Non-zero tune2fs -i or -c parameters (not sure which one). Expected results: Zero tune2fs -i and -c parameters as was the case in previous anaconda versions. Additional info: Easy enough to run tune2fs myself once I saw the boot message (another good reason to turn off rhgb and watch boot messages). My other storage bug 494134 was more irritating than this one :-).
This should be fixed in the next build of anaconda. Thanks for the bug report.
Tom: Can you confirm whether the reported issue has been resolved with the latest anaconda package? Information for installing rawhide is available at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide#Direct_Rawhide_install
I'm unlikely to have time to try anything like this before it is too late to make change (it didn't seem like a big deal anyway, running tune2fs can fix it easily).
Is this only for x86_64 and not for i386?
I only installed x86_64, so that's what I put in the original bug, but I'd imagine that it happens (or is fixed) across all architectures the same way.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
