I apologize if there are a bunch of replies here. I am having trouble with your posting system. It won’t let me post the output I am trying to send you because it contains http links. I am going to remove that part of the output by hand, but the apt-get update command did in fact work correctly.
Captain,
Thank you for your reply.
Here is a summary of what I did (I am also putting 2 logs at the end so you can see exactly what I am talking about.
I boot the stock version of raspberian from an 8G sd card. For the logs I am sending today, I made sure I was using the very latest version of the OS.
fsck always fails.
The second log is a search (grep fsck /var/log/syslog) in /var/syslog when I boot the HDD (which is /dev/sda2). You can see the when the boot process runs fsck it fails, so the system mounts /dev/sda2 dirty.
The way I first noticed this problem was when I had a power fluctuation and the OS remounted /dev/sda2 read-only. I tried to reboot to fix the problem, but because the fsck failed on boot, the system continued to mount /dev/sda2 as ro. I can’t remember how I cleared this error. I think I just waited.
Also, I am running a raspberrypi 3.
#******* LOG 1 ******
Here is a log of the exact steps showing how I ran fsck. This is on a system booted from an 8G sd card. First I show the system is up to date & the sizes of the disks and what is mounted. I put the spaces between the commands to make them easier to find.
