Hi everyone
I am running SL6.2 64bit on a Lenovo T61p. We don't always set the date
to the current date and sometimes the date is in the past. If the year is
2010 - 2012 I get the following message at boot up.
Checking filesystem
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root: Superblock last mount time (Wed Oct 30
12:11:30 2013,
now = Sat Oct 30 06:27:50 2010) is in the future.
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY.
[FAILED]
*** An error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):
This looks to me like a bug in fsck. I can work around the boot up
failure by modifying rc.sysinit to run fsck with the –y option.
Alternatively I have created /fsckoptions with –y (this gets removed by
rc.sysinit after boot up).
I would appreciate any other suggestions on how to work around this
problem.
Thanks
