i had the same problems on a (i think it was ext2) root-filesystem which |
| 10 |
was never written to, but was also not mounted ro. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
i thought that i would not need the fsck on boot up, because there are |
| 13 |
no write accesses to the device ... |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
however after some months of operation the device failed to boot with |
| 16 |
exact the same error message ... |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
the reason i suspect was that due to power failures the ext2 got |
| 19 |
inconsistent somehow ... which resulted in "stale NFS file handle |
| 20 |
messages" ... not very intuitive ;) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
i put in a check & repair of the filesystem (with -y) on every boot and |
| 23 |
now those errors are gone ... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
i think the problem encounters when a not cleanly shut down ext2 fs gets |
| 26 |
mounted over and over again ... and ... maybe something got written to |
| 27 |
it even if i would not know ... it was a mini-itx running gentoo |
| 28 |
with /var (mostly) on another (rw) partition - but not very "embedded" |
| 29 |
in terms of stripped down ... ;) |

|
| 31 |
hope this helps, |

marcus. |
