[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#441453: initscripts: checkfs and checkroot should warn if on_ac_power fails

[Cristian Rigamonti]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-38.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

In order to skip fsck-ing while on battery power, the checkroot.sh and
checkfs.sh scripts only check if on_ac_power's exit status == 1.

Sometimes, on_ac_power is available but returns 255 (e.g. because the ac kernel
module is not loaded yet): maybe the user should be warned about that by the
init script (see the attached patch to checkroot.sh), or by the documentation of
the package (which I just didn't happen to find :-)
