From: John Polstra To: current@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Is fsck broken for autoboot? Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG We had a nice wind storm up here in sunny Seattle last night, and the power went off. When it came back on, two FreeBSD systems, one running -current and the other running -stable, both failed in the same way to go multi-user. On the "mount -u -o rw /" command in /etc/rc, each system gave me a screen full of: WARNING: R/W mount of / denied. Filesystem is not clean - run fsck. However, in both cases, the automatic fsck had said: /dev/rsd2a: CLEAN FLAG NOT SET IN SUPERBLOCK (FIXED) and no other errors. (Yes, my root partition is on sd2 in one of the systems. Don't ask. :-) Soft updates are not used on either system. Any ideas why this happened? John --- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
