[opensuse] Odd system log message about /boot/efi
I have a system that is reporting this in the system log: [ 5.931249] FAT-fs (sda2): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck. This is: /dev/sda2 20M 748K 20M 4% /boot/efi Would I really want to run fsck on that? The system is starting/stopping as expected. It is just this message in the system log. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I would run fsck.fat specifically with the appropriate 'do not repair' flag set in order to see what if anything is wrong. i.e. either: # fsck.fat /dev/sda2 or to be doubly sure: # fsck.fat -n /dev/sda2
The system is starting/stopping as expected. It is just this message in the system log.

This is typical, I have seen it, too. I don't know why it happens (the not proper umount). You have to umount it (umount /boot/efi), then fsck it (fsck -a /dev/sda2), and mount it again when correctly repaired. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
