Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-6 Severity: minor During bootup the checkroot.sh produces the following output:
Will now check root filesystem. <result of the check> Done checking root file system * Done checking root file system This is caused by a typo in the script, where construction 'if [condition] action1 then action2 fi' is used instead of 'if [condition] ; then action1 else action2 fi'. Additionaly, the FSCKCODE should be set to $? before this 'if' sentence and immediately after the fsck command. Currently it is set to $? after the output of 'Done checking root file system' message and represents in fact the result of 'echo' command, which is always zero. Thus, the subsequent tests of FSCKCODE variable do not perform the correct action. The patch to the checkroot.sh script follows: @@ -249,12 +249,12 @@ exec 9>&0 </etc/fstab fi log_action_msg "Will now check root file system" fsck $spinner $force $fix -T -t $roottype $rootdev - if [ "$?" = 0 ] + FSCKCODE=$? + if [ "$FSCKCODE" = 0 ] ; then log_success_msg "Done checking root file system" - then + else log_failure_msg "Done checking root file system" fi - FSCKCODE=$? fi # -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
