Hi,
I'm wondering whether it makes actually sense to include the fsck hook into the initial ramdisk. With the "current" switch to systemd filesystems get fsck'ed by default anyway, so it seems to be sort of redundant.
Is there something I'm missing here, or how do you handle this?
Best regards, Karol Babioch
You really want to be able to fsck the root filesystem before you mount it, as doing it while it's mounted read-only has several caveats, e.g. it requires an immediate reboot if the fsck changed anything, to ensure consistency of FS state on disk and in memory.
