To be more precisely, "autorepair" is done. I.e., minor problems are
fixed.
Judging from the man page, the OP's problem is still mysterious to me.
When startup fsck doing autorepair, the result should be either, 1)
problems fixed, or 2) bail out and drop to root shell prompt if there are
major inconsistencies. Is there a third stage, ie, problems remains but
boot process just continue on?

So remote servers mostly set FSCKFIX to yes?
