I got the ext3 recovery sequence of messages below in my system log today. Here's what I did prior to the recovery being needed: 1. Rebooted into single mode by puting "single" on the kernel command line. 2. Ran "prelink -aR". No errors were shown. 3. Shut down with the command "shutdown -h now; exit". All perfectly proper. So why when the system came back up again was a "recovery required" of the filesystem? Thanks. --------------------- EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem. EXT3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery.
