Description
This test case ensures that disk drive(s) are properly unmounted during a shut-down or a restart.
Setup
- Install the pre-released version of Fedora to be tested on a bare metal system.
- Reboot the system to the hard drive after the install.
How to test
- 1. On the running system, Switch to a free virtual console using Ctrl+Alt+F<n> shortcut and log in.
- 2. At the command prompt, issue the following command: journalctl -b /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-fsck
- 3. Review the journal output
- 5. You now need to manually re-boot the system. On most hardware (which complies with ACPI), you can manually power off by holding the power button down for five seconds. Then press the power button to power on again.
Result: When the system boots, either after a halt, reboot or shutdown operation, the system successfully boots without error. All expected disk partitions are cleanly mounted. Check boot logs to see that they do not show any”fsck” (filesystem repair) operations, or “recovering journal” (ext3/4 journal recovery. The boot logs only need to be checked after one shutdown - reboot cycle. The logs can be checked using the command “journalctl -b /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-fsck”. A result similar to the following indicates clean mounting:
“Example: -- Logs begin at Mon 2018-11-19 13:52:18 EST, end at Sat 2019-01-12 12:27:48 ES> Jan 12 08:37:25 localhost.localdomain systemd-fsck[503]: /dev/mapper/fedora-roo> Jan 12 08:37:36 localhost.localdomain systemd-fsck[745]: /dev/mapper/fedora-hom> Jan 12 08:37:36 localhost.localdomain systemd-fsck[743]: /dev/sda1: clean, 412/>”
- 6. After the system boots, again change to a virtual console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2.
Result: Virtual console appears
- 7. At the virtual console, login as the root user
Result: Login successful
- 8. Reboot the system by running the command: “reboot”
Result: The reboot is accepted and initiates a system reboot. The system reboots with no additional user interaction. Note: Manually booting the system may be required if the previous step fails.
- 9. After the system boots, once again change to a virtual console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2.
Result: Virtual console appears.
- 10. At the virtual console, login as a non-root user. If no non-root user accounts are available, you can create a new user account as follows: Login as the root user and use the command: “useradd” to add a non-root user. Logout of root and login as the new non-root user.
Result: User creation successful if used. Non-root login successful.
- 12. Power off the system by running the shutdown command. Consult the man page for different acceptable [TIME] values. For example, to power off the system immediately, type the following command: “shutdown now”
Result: The shutdown is accepted and powers off the system without error.
- 13. Lastly, power on the system. Check that it boots successfully.
Result: When the system boots, either after a halt, reboot or shutdown operation, the system successfully boots without error, and all expected disk partitions are cleanly mounted.
