There is no problem, you simply reached the maximal mount count or exceeded
the time between checks. It is checking them every once in a while to make
sure that they are OK.

Read the manpage for tune2fs if you want to adjust these paramaters.

No, this is a feature not a bug. You could disable it, but I reccomend you
don't.

Set them to values with a large "least common multiple", probably by setting
each partition to check after a diffrent, prime number of mounts.

Try some of these values, with smaller values on smaller partitions.

If your partition passes, then there's no problem.  It's doing fsck for
maintenance reasons (ie, "just to be safe").  Nothing to worry here - move
on!

[vox-tech] "PASSED"

2003-08-16 Thread Robert G. Scofield
After so many boots Linux does fsck.  When this happens on my system I get 
"PASSED"  for /dev/hda5 and /dev/hda8.  What types of problems give rise to 
"PASSED"?

And if I install a new distro over this Mandrake 9.0 system, and format 
/dev/hda5 and /dev/hda8, will the problems disappear?

Thank you.

Try booting into single-user mode and running `play` on some *.wav file.
I think that's as simple as it gets.

Just everything within KDE3. I killed the esd and tried xmms (oss version)
and still the same result.

I will try messing with the IRQ's. I did this once before, and as I duel boot
with Windows 98SE, there were many hardware conflicts on my next
boot to Windows. Maybe I can find a combination to keep them both
happy

Advantages to 2.4: 

more drivers/support for hw
better USB/Firewire support
Netfilter changes(I think the 2.4 netfilter is MUCH better than the 2.2 one, 
and yes, there is a compatibility module so all your old scripts should work)
Better stability(been pounded on more, logically should be more stable.)  

I would recommend 2.4.20 or 2.4.19 myself.

Hi,

I noticed that kernel-source-2.4.18 is in the stable tree of woody.  What
advantages do I get from moving from 2.2.20 -> 2.4.18?
