e2fsck of non-root filesystem failing at boot time, because already mounted?

[Thomas Schwinge <thomas@codesourcery.com>]

Hi!

As in the subject, and see the attached QEMU screenshot.  Has something
been changed in the boot process ("startup" is new; Justus CCed ;-) just
in case) that would cause this non-root filesystem to be mounted that
early, so that e2fsck can't then process it anymore?  "Erich" has not
needed a lot of e2fscks, but if my memory serves me right, this used to
work "until recently".

    $ showtrans /media/erich
    /hurd/ext2fs --no-atime /dev/hd2
    $ grep hd2 < /etc/fstab
    /dev/hd2        /media/erich ext2 defaults 0 2

QEMU configuration:

    qemu-system-i386 \
      [...] \
      -drive cache=writeback,index=0,media=disk,file=laplace-root.img \
      -drive cache=writeback,index=1,media=disk,file=laplace-swap.img \
      -drive cache=writeback,index=2,media=disk,file=erich.img \
      [...]


Grüße,
 Thomas
