I would suspect a bug in fsck and obtain the latest fsck patch. Using a backup superblock is certainly not indicated. Can you mount the fs anyway? Is this a ufs fs?
I think this happened to me once with a ufs fs and I was able to mount the fs anyway. Since I could mount the fs, then fsck is in error in suggesting the clean flag is wrong. fsck needs one routine to check the clean flag and a second routine to write the clean flag. If the first routine is buggy, fsck would loop like that. It forever thinks the clean flag is wrong and forever sets the clean flag correctly. I was pretty sure that was happening to me so I just ignored the situation.

Hi,
When we are running fsck in vxvm FS within few sec it will completed even if data is more than 500GB or in TB also.
compare to UFS FS in that it will take more time compare with vxvm.UFS check FS in block level. & then vvxm on where its checking the FS.
Please explain. (1 Reply)
