Mounting Local Filesystems FAIL [SOLVED]

csergec · 2011-10-22 07:19:22

Hi

At boot I get this message:

Mounting Local Filesystems ^[[119G   [BUSY] ^[[119G   [FAIL]

I had a look at the forums here, tried the different solutions which worked for the ones who posted their topics
like this one https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=123576 but without success.
Actually my system works all the partitions are mounted, even the swap one but I do not know why I get this error.
I have only ext2 and ext4 partitions, so it would not be a module/driver problem as some people faced with their ntfs partitions e.g.

my fstab configuation: note that I commented and uncommented the different devpts shm tmpfs without success

# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>

UUID=2aff474b-cf64-4005-b6cf-9e3fe0f97d5d swap swap defaults 0 0

As I mentionned, all my partitions are mounted.

Part of the /var/log/boot file:

Remounting Root Read/Write ^[[119G   [BUSY] ^[[119G   [DONE] 
Sat Oct 22 05:04:06 2011: :: Creating mtab ^[[119G   [BUSY] ^[[119G   [DONE]

Sat Oct 22 05:04:07 2011: :: Activating Swap ^[[119G   [BUSY] ^[[119G   [DONE]

My system works and survives this error, but I would like to know what makes this error occur.

Any idea?

Thank you

Serge

Try removing the "devpts" line in fstab. That's now being done in /etc/rc.sysinit, line 22.

Have you checked for pacnew files recently?

I removed the line, it did not help.

I use pacmatic to handle [and not forget] the pacnew files.

Still having this "FAIL"....

A possible solution, if '/etc/mtab~' exists on your system, is to remove that file.

Post the output of blkid. mtab's lock file and devpts/shm are unrelated to this.

Unrelated note: your fs_passno's are all fubar. Only / should have a fs_passno of 1. Everything else should be 0 (for don't fsck it), or 2 (for fsck after /).

Hi Falconindy

I corrected my fstab, first.
BTW, I have neither /etc/mtab nor /etc/mtab~.

blkid gives:

I had the same, the fs failed too. It was a problem with the kernel upgrade!
I did a kernel upgrade to the last stock kernel two days ago, but I forgot to reïnstall my graphics drivers (catalyst from AUR). That gave me the same error (weird, yeh).
Do you've got catalyst installed?

Hi Rudbos

I have a nvidia card

falconindy · 2011-10-23 19:56:26

In the mess of an fstab that you posted, you have this:

/dev/sdb1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
UUID=6c1ee9a8-306a-4775-ad5c-be1cd66f1293 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1

Get rid of one, and the error goes away.

Hi Falconindy again...

SORRY I did not noticed that my /boot was present twice!!!
I forgot to comment the first one.
But what it strange is that the last time I modified the fstab file was a very very very long time ago
when i moved to UUID.
I never saw the error at boot....

Thank you for your help, did not notice I forgot to comment thet line...

Serge

I have been using linux in different favours for more than 10 years ( started with redhat 5.2 and gentoo before arch )
I've always had a /boot partition in my fstab.
If i do not mount my /boot partition how the system will boot?
BTW, I do do not add the noatime flag to prevent myself from forgetting to mount it manually when I need to upgrade the kernel.
Serge

I really don't care how long you've been using Linux. Although, I would hope that in 10+ years you would come to understand the boot process well enough to know when the /boot partition is accessed.

You have a duplicate entry in your fstab that is causing this error. Again, please remove one of them.
