bt3 problem after reboot

[imported_rokrmc]

I also am having the same problem of the checking the filesystem everytime that i boot into BT3b. I am using ext2 atm. Another problem that i think is related is that when i try and use the file browser to go to my bt3 partition it gives me a very long error (if needed i will copy it down), and doesnt let me view it or mount it. Will that rc.6 solution work for this also?

I think your pb same with me too,and i fix it..edit /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab..then mount the bt3 partition and you can open to view it...

thanks for the info here, guys...

as maybe a little corroborating data on this, i'm not sure that the ext2 fs is the only thing going on here:

i had the exact same problem with '/' being fsck'd at every boot.
This is a "real" HDD installation of bt3 on fresh cfdisk'd partitions of a 40g hd on a Dell D600 laptop. these partitions were never anything but ext3 and were created specifically for bt3 (no previous data):

                                 Disk Drive: /dev/hda
                           Size: 40007761920 bytes, 40.0 GB
                 Heads: 255   Sectors per Track: 63   Cylinders: 4864

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    hda1                      Primary    Linux swap                          1019.94
    hda2         Boot         Primary    Linux ext3                          5000.98
    hda3                      Primary    Linux ext3                          5000.98
    hda4                      Primary    Linux                               28985.89

initially, i tried either logging in as a non-root account or logging in without X (and just immediately "shutdown -h now") just to see if that helped, of course it didnt....

i booted off of my slack 12 disk and ran a manual fsck on unmounted hda2...
it complained about the last mount and the last write being in the future...blah blah blah (which i let it fix) and it only had 0.8 non-contiguous...so i didnt think that was really related.

sure enough, after the next bt3 reboot, the issue was back.

i've tried several different ways of mounting the drive (/etc/fstab)...here is the latest:

# aufs / aufs defaults 0 0 # AutoUpdate
# /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ext3 auto,noatime,users,suid,dev,exec 0 0 # AutoUpdate
# /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto,noatime,users,suid,dev,exec 0 0 # AutoUpdate
#
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1 #AutoUpdate
/dev/hda3 /forensics ext3 defaults 1 1 #AutoUpdate
/dev/hdc /mnt/hdc iso9660 noauto,users,exec 0 0 # AutoUpdate
#
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 # AutoUpdate
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # AutoUpdate
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 # AutoUpdate

yeh, its a little messy by now

so, i tried the rc.6 fix and uncommented the killall as posted here and the issue seems to have resolved.
i don't really see a down-side to the resolution (for me, anyway) but i suppose im a little curious about the cause.

reiser has scared me in the past on a data restore so im a little gun-shy there...but as long as this fixes it, no blood no foul.

thanks again for all the info in the thread....
peace!

I also have the problem. BT3 freezes when almost immediately after shutting down (no messages, the screen simply goes black). The Linux file system on the install drive was bt3. I took a ghosted image of the drive which mentioned that the partition wasn't clean.

I'm install bt3 on hd too and i have the same problem always i try to enter, first i have to wait until the system check the file system and reboot.
Anyone knows why?

This has been answered many times. Use ext3 not ext2
