The system has a two-disk software RAID1 array, /dev/md0. On normal boot, shortly after the interactive-boot message, I get: "/dev/md0 is mounted. e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting", followed by the recovery console. If I do a shutdown -fr now at the console, it reboots and starts up fine.
I have:
-- Run fsck /dev/md0 from the recovery console, which came back clean, but then problem then returned after reboot
-- Modified /etc/fstab to put 0 in the last column, trying to avoid whatever e2fsck invocation is going on
The relevant line from /etc/fstab is:
/dev/md0 / ext3 rw,acl 1 0
The relevant line from /etc/mtab (which I have not modified) is:
/dev/md0 / ext3 rw,acl 0 0
I am booting with the following GRUB profile:
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.14_FC3) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 ro root=/dev/md0 initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.img
It feels like something is mounting /dev/md0 read-write before that fsck call happens, but I'm unclear as to why the fsck is being called there, and I don't grok rc.sysinit enough to understand what's going on.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
