From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020404 Description of problem: I tried upgrading my current 7.2-ish system with skipjack beta 2. After selecting a custom install of packages, I got an error dialog telling me that one or more of the filesystems in my /etc/fstab was inconsistent and that I should rectify the problem before trying again. I then rebooted and ran e2fsck on each filesystem, just in case. Same thing happens, though. Immediately before the error, I got another dialog warning about a partition not being aligned or something like that, but it said that could safely be ignored. I don't know if it's related. I hope this isn't just some stupidity on my part; as far as I can see, my fstab is okay. I do have a hodge-podge of upgraded RPMs installed from rawhide, so who knows.... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to upgrade, selecting custom packages. Additional info: Here is the fstab on the system, if it helps: # <device> <mountpoint> <filesystemtype><options> <dump> <fsckorder> #LABEL=/ / auto defaults 1 1 /dev/hda3 / auto defaults 1 1 #LABEL=/boot /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda1 /boot auto defaults 1 1 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/hda2 none swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb1 none swap defaults 0 0 % fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 3737 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 3 24066 83 Linux /dev/hda2 4 69 530145 82 Linux swap /dev/hda3 70 3737 29463210 83 Linux Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 4111 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 1 98 786712+ 82 Linux swap Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(1023, 15, 63) should be (1023, 254, 63) /dev/hdb2 98 9730 77364000 83 Linux Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(1023, 15, 63) should be (1023, 254, 63) % rpm -q mount util-linux mount-2.11g-5 util-linux-2.11f-17
If you switch over to tty3, you should see which filesystem it is which is inconsistent. You can then pop over to tty2 and run e2fsck directly to verify that it thinks they're dirty then. If they're not, we'll go from there :) If it is dirty, then something in your shutdown process isn't letting you unmount cleanly
Thanks for the followup, katzj. This machine is my main workstation/little server, so I probably won't get another chance to try this again for a week or two. I'll post again if the filesystems aren't inconsistent though it thinks they are.
Yes please let us know if you have any more information.
