Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.119
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
A basic change in function for fsck at boot time has resulted following upgrade
of this package from 0.116 to 0.119.
Following deprecation of "touch /forcefsck" earlier this past year for forcing fsck
at next reboot I started using a line in rc.local (tune2fs -c 0 /dev/sda1) to set
maximum mount count so that in-depth file system checks would never occur unless I
specified. I then issued "tune2fs -c 1 /dev/sda1" from a root prompt on the remote
systems to force the in-depth fsck on next reboot.
The remote systems used to execute an in-depth fsck on the boot partition at
next reboot when I followed this procedure. This function no longer works.
So far, the only solution I have found would seem to be to make temporary changes
in grub configuration on remote systems (via script or via manual editing) when I
want to force a file system check at boot time. This seems inadvisable to me.
Is there another solution, or can this functionality be restored by further
changes to initramfs-tools?
