[Bug 1021681] Re: Mounting ro while fsck on boot

[James Hunt]

Hi Eric - thanks for reporting this issue. However, something seems
amiss on your system since the system should wait until fsck finishes.

Please can you attach the file /var/log/boot.log from such a boot as it
might give an indication as to what is going wrong. It sounds like
either your disk is failing (such that FSCK is unable to repair the
damage completely), or you have one more more jobs that are interfering
with the normal boot process.

Title:
  Mounting ro while fsck on boot

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  12.04 amd64 Race Condition

  Every time i get the fsck progress indicator on the bootsplash,
  everything is mounted ro. This results to /home, all later mounted
  devices like windows partitions and usb drives. I have to reboot to
  correct this behaviour.

  Suggested idea: Upstart has to wait until fsck is ready and then go
  on. OR the fsck will b e placed at shutdown, there it can run without
  disturbance.
