Description Spider (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-12 09:49:43 UTC
I have a few JFS partitions, and it seems even if the fsck succeeds, the scripts
think otherways.

In the first check, /dev/hda3 (/, on jfs) it will say "filesystem is clean." and
after that the script will say "Filesystem repaired" 

whereas on the other device ,  jfs, /dev/hda6 it will also report clean, but claim :


File system is clean.
 * Fsck could not correct all errors, manual repair needed.

Give root password for maintainance.



Reproducible: Always

I think this is related to a bug in fsck.jfs return code (the fsck program used to return 1 instead of 0 even if the fs was indeed clean), which had been fixed in JFS 1.1.3 by IBM

hope this helps
