[gentoo-user] fsck operational error

[ralfconn]

Hello,

Upon boot OpenRc shows this warning:

fsck: checking local filesystem
fsck: fsck.ext4 device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/nvme0n1p6
fsck: filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?
fsck: operational error

This is the root filesystem, and in fstab it is listed as:

UUID=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx	/	ext4	noatime,discard		0 1

/etc/conf.d/fsck contains only:

fsck_on_battery="YES"
fsck_shutdown="NO"
fsck_abort_on_errors="YES"

This started a week ago after a system update when I switched from 
kernel 6.10.9 to 6.10.10 (~amd64). That day there was also an update of 
OpenRc to version 0.55.

Has anybody seen the same?

thanks,

raf

Old thread, no answer, but now I get the same message on another box, 
just after I reconfigured the kernel for hardening 
(https://kspp.github.io/Recommended_Settings), so it was not an OpenRC 
issue.

I'll update if I find the option that causes the issue, just to close 
the thread for the posterity :-).

I don't run a hardened setup and don't have this problem.

Is your fsck service in boot level?

~ # rc-update -s -v | grep fsck
                 fsck | boot
