Bug#757543: MUST NOT say "***** REBOOT LINUX *****" before safe to do so

Bug#757543: MUST NOT say "***** REBOOT LINUX *****" before safe to do so
severity 757543 normal thanks I agree this should be fixed, but what e2fsck was doing was at best a contributory factor. #1, the user pulled the disk while it was still being active. And #2, e2fsck is writing back the updated superblock and block group descriptors. If any of these changes had been lost, a second run of e2fsck should have fixed them. The fact that the disk did additional damage on a power fail which caused the data loss is the disk's problem, not e2fsck's. I'll fix this, but even so, unexpected power lost should have caused anything other than a need to rerun e2fsck. I suspect the fault of the hardware. - Ted -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.42.11-2 Severity: grave File: /sbin/fsck.ext4 fsck MUST NOT say "* REBOOT LINUX *" before completely writing and syncing to disk! Simply kindly say that as the last thing before exiting. Otherwise: the user will assume the system has halted and it is time for him to reboot. Indeed after a few minutes of waiting for a shell prompt back he indeed very much thinks that is what your are trying to tell him. And he reboots. And finds he has scrambled his disks. All because he didn't wait and believed the message. grave -- causes data loss. And days of work to repair -- if at all possible. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
