fsck (or initlog) result codes

[Leonard den Ottolander]

Hi,

After an unclean shutdown and an apparently succesful fsck (no errors
are reported during the fsck after the reboot) I am still forced to
reboot the system.

I suspect this might have to do with the fsck return codes being wrongly
interpreted. Any value larger than 1 is considered a failure by the
script.

With an fsck result code of 3 however the system passes the next fsck
with no errors whatsoever. Could it be that fsck's result code on
failure actually is -1? Or any other value? Or does initlog (via which
fsck is called) somehow change the result value?

Bye,
Leonard.
