Filesystem not checked for 136 years?B
Hi Everybody. I had SuSE 9.3 crash on me the other day. Since it was locked up solid, I had to hit the reset button. At the GRUB prompt I booted into single user mode and fscked each filesystem. Unce all filesystems showed as clean, I rebooted again, only to find that the system was telling me that each of these filesystems which I had just checked had not been checked for 49710 days. By my calculations, that's slightly more than 136 years. I know that I can use tune2fs to change the check interval, but is that a good idea? These numbers aren't right. Someone please hit me with the clue-stick - but not too hard please, I'm frail. -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER@CONSOLIDATEDLINT.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK IGNORE FULLWISE

You should be proud to have such a good uptime :) -- ====================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) ====================================================== "Greater coherence cannot be achieved.

It could be that the date was incorrectly set when you went single user mode. You could go again, and check the date, out of curiosity :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

The first reboot after 9.3 install showed the same thing and yes the date was correct during the install and reboot. This was on an ext3 filesystem. Perhaps it does not happen with other filesystems. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

I saw dates like he mentioned when I first booted a clean install of 9.3 using ext3 partitions. I just assumed it was a phoney date they put in there to *ensure* that the file system got check on the first boot.

Might be. My root partition is also ext3, but I didn't notice. I did notice that the system date/time was incorrect at some point, but certainly not years. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
