Description binsh00 2004-02-18 10:20:08 UTC 
I get question "are you sure to fsck mounted filesystem y/n?" every time I boot. I think the problem is the boot scripts can't remount the root filesystem read-only, because there is a swapfile in use on it. If I remove swapfile from my /etc/fstab the problem goes away. 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add swapfile on root fs to /etc/fstab
2. Reboot
3.




I have kernel gentoo-dev-sources version 2.6.3_rc3, compiled by 'genkernel all'.
baselayout version is baselayout-1.8.6.13.
