severity 672959 serious thanks justification: unacceptable behavior on a production/stable system. renders the system unable to boot.
Hello, This is a me-to report. Running Debian/sid kFreeBSD ADM64 on a virtual machine with qemu/kvm I unclean closed the machine (killed the qemu process when the machine was idle) and now the machine not longer starts. When the init system reachs to "Checking root filesystems..." it gives a fatal error and the machine restarts itself (attached screen-shoot) The machine keeps restarting itself in an infinite loop and there is no way to fix it. Neither booting single-use mode (recovery mode) nor normal mode changes anything. As also neither booting kFreeBSD kernel version 9.0-1-amd64 nor 8.3-1-amd64 changes anything. The machine has the following schema for its unique disk: sysresccd ~ # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1044 cylinders, total 16777216 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00042061 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 15988735 7993344 a5 FreeBSD /dev/sda2 15990782 16775167 392193 5 Extended /dev/sda5 15990784 16775167 392192 82 Linux swap / Solaris sysresccd ~ # file -s /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1: Unix Fast File system [v2] (little-endian) last mounted on /, last written at Sat Jul 21 20:36:14 2012, clean flag 0, readonly flag 0, number of blocks 3996672, number of data blocks 3869351, number of cylinder groups 43, block size 16384, fragment size 2048, average file size 16384, average number of files in dir 64, pending blocks to free 0, pending inodes to free 0, system-wide uuid 0, minimum percentage of free blocks 8, TIME optimization I tried fixing it booting the system with systemrescuecd but seems that the tool fsck.ufs is not included on it. Finally I was able to fix it by booting with the Debian/kFreeBSD AMD64 netinstall, pressing next-next until reaching the partitioning dialog and then after getting a shell with alt+f2 and running fsck.ufs /dev/ad0s1 the error goes away. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez http://neutrino.es Igalia - Free Software Engineering http://www.igalia.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
