> A google search turned up this thread: The guy in that thread not only inhibits checking the volume on boot, but also sets it no not mount automatically at boot. Mhh, I thought 'noauto' was the default setting for vfat partitions after installation. It should be worth trying to comment out the whole hda1 line in /etc/fstab. Could you please also provide a copy of your fstab, or at least the relevant lines? Of course, this is merely a workaround, not a solution.
As a side note: The boot sector should match its backup in the first place. This seems to be a Windows problem, however, since I've also seen this quite often back in the days without a Linux installation. That being said, it would still be a Good Thing if fsck/mount failed more gracefully, or at least provided the user with enough information to solve the problem (it seems a lot of people get confused by this problem). Anyway: This is a bug in dosfsutils, not in e2fsprogs. You may therefore get more help by filing a new bug report against dosfstools. Feel free to quote any information I gave you that you mayf find noteworthy. -- filesystem check fails on boot, but filesystem isn't bad https://launchpad.net/bugs/48563 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
