fsck.ext3 at boot - failure
I'm running Sarge with an Advansys SCSI controller, a Castlewood Orb
drive (sdb) and an Iomega Jaz drive (sda). On each drive, I have a swap
partition (sda5, sdb5) and an ext3 partition (sda6, sdb6). Ever since I
installed Sarge a few weeks ago, I have had this message when booting:
fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
fsck.ext3: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/sdb6
Possibly non-existent or swap device?
fsck.ext3: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/sda6
Possibly non-existent or swap device?
fsck failed. Please repair manually.
CONTROL-D will exit from this shell and continue system startup.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):
I realize that I'm not the only one who's gotten this error message. I
found lots of posts about this on Google, and on this list before.
However, for me, everything works. Later on in the boot, when it's
loading modules, it finds everything fine, and there is no problem
running linux. The two partitions, /home and /tmp, work perfectly. Even
though everything works, I would like to fix this rather alarming error
message and to boot up my computer without having to press ^d. Could
anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Peter
