Re: Fsck stops at boot, how to debug?
Hello Markus, 2010/2/5, Markus Hitter m...@jump-ing.de: Boot off a live CD (or another partition) and do the fsck manually. If it still insists to fsck at boot time, hit the Esc key, this should abort checking. I've done the fsck from a Live USB key. There was no error! :-? Here is the log of the fsck (sorry, in French, forgot to change locale): $ sudo fsck.ext3 -v /dev/sda3 e2fsck 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009) /dev/sda3 a été monté 13 fois sans avoir été vérifié, vérification forcée. Passe 1 : vérification des i-noeuds, des blocs et des tailles Passe 2 : vérification de la structure des répertoires Passe 3 : vérification de la connectivité des répertoires Passe 4 : vérification des compteurs de référence Passe 5 : vérification de l'information du sommaire de groupe 814179 inodes used (13.32%) 18796 non-contiguous files (2.3%) 624 non-contiguous directories (0.1%) nombre d'i-noeuds avec des blocs ind/dind/tind : 40359/1954/0 18010921 blocks used (73.77%) 0 bad blocks 1 large file 534801 regular files 229402 directories 119 character device files 26 block device files 6 fifos 968418 links 49779 symbolic links (37837 fast symbolic links) 37 sockets 1782588 files Any idea of what could have gone wrong at fsck during regular boot?

if my disks start spinning wildly i wanna know whats causing it
Hi.. I got a feature request for system monitor for you: Please add the ability to view disk-activity/second per program running per mountpoint. Don't forget to include system-level processes. Very occasionally my disks start spinning without me knowingly initiating it, and i would really like to be able to look up quickly which program is responsible. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Re: if my disks start spinning wildly i wanna know whats causing it
For me it's mostly mlocate's updatedb I often find that if you sort by cpu-usage then the active program will float near the top even though it isn't using more than a fraction of a percent of cpu (given that most of it's activity is IO). I agree it would be nice though - maybe create a blueprint on launchpad, or upstream with gnome?

Turns out no operating system/kernel has knowledge of what files are touching the disks or what process is trashing the swap because they involve separate layers that don't have full awareness of each other. Linux is gaining some advanced tracing facilities and I guess this will soon be possible...
