Bug Description
Binary package hint: upstart
Samsung X10 with Ubuntu 10.10, a new installation. Ubuntu booting always check disk for error.
While it always happen to me, I am not sure if this would happen with a clean shutdown, as I never managed to. I suffer from the phenomenon of not possible to clean shutdown, as described in #629919. Although I can successfully reboot (also a phenomenon of #629919) but successful reboot results a disk check anyway.
That's all information I can provide. The splash screen concealed other information that might be useful, like which partition is being checked (can it be the dual-boot windows partition?) and what reason it is checked (not clean shut down? something wrong with the clock that make upstart think check haven't been done in a decade or so?).
I'll provide other info on requests.
Hello Zhang, thank you for taking the time to file this bug report and help us make Ubuntu better!
I believe this is actually the function of 'mountall', not upstart, and will rell re-assign it as such.
One simple thing that might cause this is the existence of a file, /forcefsck . If that file exists, then fsck will happen on every system boot.
If that file exists, can you try removing it and rebooting?
It should actually always be removed when mountall is stopped for the reboot, but there may be a bug in that.
Marking Incomplete pending response from Zhang.
Setting Importance to Medium as this would be a fairly important problem for any user that it might affect.
