It should call mkfs.ext4 and that one should return directly.

Check with tunectl your partition.

I am a little bit lost... tunectl does not seem to be provided by any package from the standard factory repos. can that be done live? Alin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Hi Arnold, thank you for you answer... I am a little bit lost... I checked the logs (boot.omsg) and I see nothing about the fs... the log finishes after the network service is shutdown, .......... Shutting down (localfs) network interfaces: eth0 device: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5764M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 10) eth0 done wwan0 No configuration found for wwan0 Nevertheless the interface will be shut down. wwan0 doneShutting down service (localfs) network . . . . . . . . . any hints where I can look for a not clean shutdown of the fs appreciated.

tune2fs is part of the e2fsprogs package and yes you can run it on a mounted file system

It won't be in the log because you cannot write the successful/unsuccesful result to the log on the already unmounted file system.

You will have the watch the screen messages. Right at the end of the shutdown you normally see a message like:

Sending processes the KILL signal Unmounting all file systems...

If something goes wrong there should be an error message as well.

Well, this are some ways to help debugging at shutdown : -enable systemd debugging (see http://en.opensuse.org/Systemd#Getting_debug_from_systemd ), disable quiet and bootsplash and shutdown the system with "/sbin/halt" : it should shutdown but not power off the system so you can see what is going on. -create a script in /lib/systemd/system-shutdown which remount / as rw, output dmesg in /tmp and remount at ro -- Frederic Crozat SUSE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Sorry, typo on my part, I meant tune2fs.

Have a look at my system: tune2fs -l /dev/sda5 tune2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010) [...] Mount count: 81 Maximum mount count: -1 Last checked: Mon Aug 9 09:58:20 2010 Check interval: 0 (<none>)

So, this partition is never checked!
