dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > Release Candidates

Announcements

(1/74) > >>

Jason W:
The release candidates have been updated with the fix mentioned in the release area.

Updates to the x86 dCore release candidates will be mentioned in this thread.

Jason W:
Now there is a boot option "checkfs".  It is not like the one that was before and was dropped, this one simply checks to see if the partition about to be mounted for /opt, /home, and/or TCE directory contains errors, nothing is done or fixed.  If errors are found, it gives you an option to continue at your own risk or follow the recommended reboot and fix the errors with the "base" boot option and the e2fsck command.  Works with the LABEL and UUID option of specifying devices.   The results can be seen in the files /tmp/checkfs.*, such as /tmp/checkfs.sda2, /tmp/checkfs.sdb4, etc.  Simply needed a check for a large number of mounts between fixes or an just an unclean unmount does not constitute file system errors.  Only a true error will result in the "red flag" and an option to reboot.

On my A10 board I have had a few hard resets due to lockup, and ended up seeing the havoc that can be when a corrupted EXT file system was being used in a live session.  This boot code can at least prevent using an unusable file system.

The following release candidates have been updated with this:

dCore-wheezy.gz
dCore-jessie.gz
ub-dCore-trusty.gz
ub-dCore-utopic.gz
ub-dCore-utopic-3.16.6.gz

hi jason,

with the last cut i experienced the looping update-requests again.
perhaps it has something to do that i use dcore with an usbstick?
without permanent /home, /opt or /usr and so on?

i did an update this morning and after the reboot i checked the update-situation again and updatesce replied that there are no additional updates needed.
then in the afternoon, after a further reboot, i checked with updatesce -c -a again and i guess that i got offered the same update-requests that were updated in the morning.
i'm sure that no updates were downloaded during the merge-process.
after the next reboot updatesce told me that no updates are available for the chosen sces.

thank you for your help and patience.

Jason W:
Ok, if you can give me an exact listing of the packages involved, contents of sce's that are made from a list file, and I will look into it in the coming days.
