Hi I'd appreciate some help with an issue that I'm experiencing with my root jfs partition being mounted read only at boot, due to jfs_fsck returning code 11. Below is a log of what is shown on screen after jfs_fsck has been run on the rootfs: Could not locate device by label or uuid
Seems to be failing to open the journal. Do you use an external journal? If so, what device is it on?
warning... fsck.jfs for device /dev/md1 exiteds with signal 11
Found a bug. not checking the return code of findLog() properly. Fixing this will result in jfs_fsck failing cleanly rather than a segfault, but probably won't get you any further.
operational error remounting root filesystem read/write mount: / not mounted already, or bad option
I'm guessing that the filesystem is still clean, and the rw mount is failing for the same reason as jfs_fsck. It doesn't find the journal.
root filesystem could not be mounted read/write The issue arose when I upgraded my kernel from 2.6.28-gentoo-r2 to 2.6.38-gentoo-r3. If I boot my original kernel the system still boots fine, but booting the new kernel results in the errors above. Is this a bug, or perhaps I have missed something in my kernel configuration?
If you're using an external journal, then it may be a configuration error and the kernel isn't configuring the journal device. If not, then I'll have to dig deeper.
Many thanks in advance for your kind assistance. Please let me know if you need any further information. Best Regards Matt Dunnington
