I have a ext2 linux partition mounted under /linux via the fstab line:

It will automount on bootup, but if I do a reboot or shutdown -h now, it doesnt get umounted properly. In fact, if this /linux is mounted, then /, /usr, /var, and /tmp (all seperate ufs slices on another hard drive) also get tainted during a reboot. And on the next startup I get the good ole: WARNING: /usr was not properly dismounted, leaving me to fsck the drives in single mode (which sucks, as the fbsd machine is a headless NAT machine). Running fsck in single mode does fix everything.
So whats going on here? reboot aint properly umounting partitions, and fsck doesnt seem to be properly running during bootup if it detects tainted filesystems.
Any ideas?
Freebsd 5.3 SMP kernel.
Try this line: /dev/ad2s1 /linux ext2fs rw 0 0
But remember the ext2 code has been buggy for a while and is not allways a good choice to try and do writes on it. Might be a better choice to change rw to ro and to also check that drive/partition for errors with its original fsck to fix any errors if there is any then it will most likely mount properly and umount properly.
Best of luck, --c0ldbyte
Well, I just said screw it, backed up the files I needed, then converted the whole disk to UFS. Time to wash my hands clean of linux anywas. :-)
Still sort of worried that reboot wasnt unmounting the linux drive, but oh well, no more worries now. :)
