The Hard Disk Is Checked After Every Reboot

Support knowledgebase (jkoeke_fsck73)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 7.3
Kernel: Version 2.4.10

Symptom

Your root partition is checked for errors after every reboot.

Cause

The cause is a problem regarding the cooperation between the standard kernel and LVM.

Solution

Login as user root.
Use any editor of your choice (e.g Pico) to modify the following entry (line 164) in file /etc/init.d/boot :

if test "$fs" = / -a -f "$des" -a "$type" != "reiserfs"

Please change here the if query to:

if test "$fs" = / -a -b "$des" -a "$type" != "reiserfs"

The only change takes place in the option from -f to -b.
