Problem
I have this message called /dev/sda1/ will be checked for errors at next reboot
when I booted up my VM running on ubuntu 12.10 server edition.
My host OS is mac os x lion.
What I have tried
I have googled and found this How can I get rid of the motd message "*** /dev/sdb1 will be checked for errors at next reboot ***"?
I tried sudo mv /var/run/motd /var/run/motd.old
to force a clear of the current /etc/motd
file as recommended in the first answer. No good.
cat /etc/fstab
gives me:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--server-root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /boot was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=18946e20-7bc6-40f3-b486-e46394546202 /boot ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--server-swap_1 none swap sw 0 0
This is what I got after I typed sudo blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="18946e20-7bc6-40f3-b486-e46394546202" TYPE="ext2"
/dev/sda5: UUID="cXGZ2V-pdtX-A0sr-7uXp-elvC-vbgY-c70hDZ" TYPE="LVM2_member"
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--server-root: UUID="260b3094-5f4a-4839-9108-30ea0323393c" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/mapper/ubuntu--server-swap_1: UUID="d8228f3c-80da-44df-9555-8be04129bf5b" TYPE="swap"
I also tried
sudo touch /forcefsck
Didn't work.
I saw this http://www.iloveubuntu.net/how-repair-swap-partition-ubuntu but since I am running server edition I have no GUI.
Please advise.
Thank you.
UPDATE
Weirdly enough, the message is now gone. I have no idea why after I shut down my host OS.
This question is still open so that someone could help explain why this is the case.
