During boot, when the time comes for fsck'ing
the file systems, whatever script is doing that,
is exiting with an error status, even though no
errors are displayed, and I am prompted to either
enter the root password, or type Contrl-D to continue.
Cntrl-D simply reboots. Entering the root password,
and running fsck manually to check all filesystems in fstab,
yields that all is well, no errors are found, and the exit
status is 0.

Would appreciate some info on identifying the script that
does the fsck during boot.
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is the guy and it'll force an fsck if it sees
a file called "/forcefsck" or "/.autofsck" in the root of the
filesystem or if there's a "forcefsck" on the command line of the kernel
(check your /etc/grub/grub.conf file).

Thanks Rick.

I checked /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
and I see that it does check for the presence of files like:

if [ -f /fsckoptions ]


if [ -f /forcefsck ]


elif [ -f /.autofsck ]


[ -f /etc/sysconfig/autofsck ]

and I have none of these files.

I checked /boot/grub/grub.conf and I see
no presence of any string like fsck or force
or auto in it.

The only script I found that invokes /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is
/etc/init/rcS.conf, and it is not passing any args to it.

I wounder if this maybe a bash problem?
