[Fwd: [Lunar Linux 0000404]: no fsck on boot]

[Auke Kok]

just thought people need to know that the old /etc/init.d/mount script 
(somehow this slipped in there sometime back) had a faulty fsck line:

   fsck -A -y -a

the last '-a' option would somehow not be accepted by e2fsck for ext3 
filesystems, resulting in fsck croaking and not checking anything.

people still having this problem can "lin e2fsprogs". Please make sure 
you get the new init.d script, which is a part of the e2fsprogs module.

Find the lines in /etc/init.d/mount script that look like this

echo      -n " * Checking all file systems"
fsck      -A -y
&> /dev/null

and comment out the "&> /dev/null" line like this:

# &> /dev/null

That's what fixed it for me.

In your /etc/fstab on the lines with each of your partitions that you want
to have checked you need to have a 1 like this:

/dev/discs/disc0/part3	/	ext3	defaults,noatime	0 1

The 1 will allow the partition/filesystem to be checked.

here is (an example of) what i got in my fstab:
/dev/sda5       /boot           ext2    defaults                0 2
/dev/sda6       /               ext3    data=journal            0 1
/dev/sda8       /usr            ext3    data=journal            0 2
/dev/sda9       /var            ext3    data=journal            0 2

found the problem, some people seem to have this in their script:

   fsck -A -y -a

the last '-a' option kills the fsck!!! The current e2fsprogs init.d script
already has this fix, will write some info to the ML to inform.

Need just to send info to people on how to fix this.
