Hello list,
I recently had to get rid of the boot splashscreen on my home server. Meaning that I now get to see the console boot messages each time, and I noticed something quite alarming: an fsck and a transaction log replay takes place each time the server boots, even though I take great care to always shut it down cleanly.
Yes, so? You don't say what file system. My ReiserFS do that on every boot regardless. Following a clean shutdown I see the reboot saying Replaying journal: Done. Its the nature of the reiser.fsck that runs at boot. There's nothing "in" the journal to reply, because there was a clean shutdown. Now if you get a long list of what is being replayed then you know that your shutdown wasn't really clean, that the file system wasn't properly unmounted. If that's the case then you should investigate WHY the file system isn't being properly unmounted on shutdown. -- If a better system is thine, impart it; if not, make use of mine. - Horace -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
