Bug#767471: [initramfs-tools] / formatted as ext3 but mounted as ext4 not fsck-able
I ran into the inverse situation: my /etc/fstab said ext3, but at
runtime the initramfs looked for /sbin/fsck.ext4, and couldn't find it.
Perhaps instead of special-casing ext3/ext4, it might be better to make
it use 'fsck -N' (or equivalent) to discover which fsck backend will be
used at runtime?
In the event my system booted successfully anyway, apparently due to
other things being broken:
