Bug#776034: fsck runs in parallel on same physical disk

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-8
Severity: serious


I have a server with many LVM logical volumes on top of the same RAID1
md device on two spindles.

At boot, fsck appeared to be starting on many of the LVs simultaneously.

There was a horrendous sound of disk head movement from the server.

This also makes the whole fsck process slower and therefore the boot
process is slower.
