Problem with fsck on rebootsForum: HD Install Topic: Problem with fsck on reboots started by: Oopack Posted by Oopack on May 22 2006,19:05
I recently installed DSL v2.4 on a CF card using an IDE<->CF adapter. It boots up and runs fine. On just about every reboot, however, it needs an fsck. I'm using the ext3 filesystem, and doing an additional sync before rebooting doesn't make a difference.Once I've done the fsck and rebooted again, it comes up just fine. The next time I reboot, I have to repeat the process. I've run Linux on all sorts of other systems before and never seen this. I'm wondering if this is something specific to DSL and/or using a CF card as the "hard drive". Any suggestions? Posted by lwmxynedtodth on May 22 2006,19:59
The card denies umounting. Or is brutely shut of.

A traditional hard drive install on a CF is not good.Card will not last long. Then using ext3, writing a journal onto CF even worst. I would not recommend this style of install on a CF. Better to use a frugal type install for this combo. Posted by lwmxynedtodth on May 23 2006,13:09
by the way, what is a CF?and how should there be difference in mounting between frugal and traditional? |
