Subject:  [Jfs-discussion] Problem on boot with fsck.jfs




I'm still messing with this system I have booting from jfs and I'm
noticing that sometimes on booting, fsck gives me a big "WARNING!!!"
that checking a mounted filesystem could cause corruption.  The root fs
is mounted read-only when this happens though, so running an fsck
shouldn't be a problem.  It looks like Is_Device_Mounted() in fssubs.c
is checking to see if it's mounted and if it's jfs, but doesn't bother
to check if it's mounted read-only or read-write.  Could we just have it
check Mount_Data->mntopts for the ro flag and return something other
than MSG_JFS_VOLUME_IS_MOUNTED?  Then catch that case in
initial_processing() and bypass the annoying "Do you really want to
continue" message that is halting my bootup.

Thanks,
Paul Larson
