Hi everyone,
I thought I'd post this here in case any responses might be useful for the
archives should anyone else come across similar...
Following a recent IPv4 numbering update I removed my old IPv4 address
today and shutdown/boot(ed) my VPS from the console. I noticed a few
warnings/errors in the boot log which I don't recall having seen before:
Setting the system clock.
Unable to set System Clock to: Sat Jan 14 16:11:03 UTC 2012 (warning).
[... non-related output removed ...]
Not activating swap on swapfile. (warning).
[... non-related output removed ...]
Will now check root file system:fsck 1.41.3 (12-Oct-2008)

/ primary superblock features different from backup, check forced.
/: ***** REBOOT LINUX *****

fsck died with exit status 3
failed!
The file system check corrected errors on the root partition but requested
that the system be restarted. failed!
The system will be restarted in 5 seconds. (warning).
Will now restart.
[ 126.850328] xenbus_dev_shutdown: device/console/0: Initialising !=

[ 127.413907] Restarting system.
I recently increased the size of my VPS disk storage (successfully) and so
I'm wondering if the fsck check was as a result of that? The subsequent
boot completed successfully so I'm not overly concerned... or should I be?
Any thoughts about the system clock setting failure and not activating the
swapfile?
