Bug#806533: systemd-sysv: /sbin/shutdown is missing -F option (force fsck on reboot)

[Ian Bruce]

Package: systemd-sysv
Version: 228-2
Severity: important

This option seems to have recently disappeared; see here, for example:

http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/shutdown8.html

It seems to be related to systemd; perhaps it's supposed to be an
"improvement".

There are a wide variety of situations in which you might want to force
filesystem checks on reboot, which is why this option existed in the first
place. There is no valid reason for removing it -- it's OPTIONAL.

Can we please have it back?
