[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#408954: checkroot.sh: should not skip running fsck with JFS root

[Ari Sovijärvi]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-36
Severity: normal

The JFS filesystem replays its journal when FSCK is run. Without
journal replay the filesystem will not allow mount as RW. When running
on batteries and the root filesystem is JFS, after a crash the system is
left in unusable state since FSCK is skipped and as a result the remount
to read/write attempt fails.

Maybe we need a check if we're using JFS and then unconditionally run
FSCK.
