Hi everyone I am running SL6.2 64bit on a Lenovo T61p. We don't always set the date to the current date and sometimes the date is in the past. If the year is 2010 - 2012 I get the following message at boot up.
Checking filesystem /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root: Superblock last mount time (Wed Oct 30 12:11:30 2013, now = Sat Oct 30 06:27:50 2010) is in the future. /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY. [FAILED] *** An error occurred during the file system check. *** Dropping you to shell; the system will reboot *** when you leave the shell. Give root password for maintenance (or type Control-D to continue): This looks to me like a bug in fsck. I can work around the boot up failure by modifying rc.sysinit to run fsck with the –y option. Alternatively I have created /fsckoptions with –y (this gets removed by rc.sysinit after boot up). I would appreciate any other suggestions on how to work around this problem. Thanks
