no disk check during boot (for all disk except boot disk)

[Daniel]

Hi,

On my machines, i've got and USB HDD inside key (ubuntu)
I boot on an external usk-key with TCL.

When there is disk problems (inside key), TCL is checking to repair disks.

How can i deactivate that check?
That take many time, and i want to do controls - repairs by myselfs (why i do TCL external boot).

Thanks
Daniel.

There is no forced fsck on TC. I guess you mean the tce dir scan? You can avoid that by specifying a tce= dir.

TC is only on the external USB key.

I want to check and repair internal USB HDD (key).
But i don't want TC to try to repair it by checking disk if an error id detected.

I will try your option!
I can suppose there is no error on TC USB key and removing all disk controls.
Thanks,
Daniel.

Hi Daniel
Why do think TC is performing a file system check? Are you seeing a message that says that?
If so, then post the message.

I found an other machine in this case:

Code: [Select]

Waiting as requested ... 28 sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] No Caching mode page present
sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] Assuming drive cache: write throught
...
sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page present
sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write throught
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 2080
Buffer ./O error on device sda1, logical block 256
And same others errors follow (different sector).

thanks
Daniel.

Hi Daniel
That does not look like the output of a file system check. That looks like you are getting I/O errors
trying to access the drive.

[Daniel]

First: there is others lines like that

I/O error, dev sda, sector 2080
Buffer ./O error on device sda1, logical block 256

with other sectors ... and other logical blocks

Second: I've got more than one machine (identical).
The only machine having (check) problems (check) are thoothes with usb hdd disk problem.


But: If you confirm I/O errors (I will check with changing USB HDD disk to see if there is almost errors), that may be a hardware problem.

Thanks
Daniel
