fsck on /home ends with system shutdown

hello,

each time a fsck for /home is scheduled to run on my system it runs and shuts itself down after some time. when i run the system with fsck.mode=skip, umount and run fsck it runs successfully, same when using liveCD. i am using the following hooks:

HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck"

anyone has an idea what could be causing this behaviour?

/home is ext4.

thanks, jose

Re: fsck on /home ends with system shutdown

The HOOKS look good to me...

What options are you using to mount it in /etc/fstab?

You should be able to get something from the system journal about what fsck is doing by causing the error to happen, reboot into a working boot with your kernel option and then running:

journalctl -b - 1 | grep fsck
