[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#544392: initscripts: always forces fsck when filesystem is not unmounted properly

[Luca Bruno]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.87dsf-2+b1
Severity: normal

Hello,
both on my desktop and now on a fresh install on my laptop, every time the PC shutdowns accidentally at boot I'm forced to run fsck.
The problem is that current time < last mount time. It asks me for a maintenance shell, but since it's boring I press ctrl+D then it reboots and does fsck automatically.
Is this behavior intentional or are there problems with setting hwclock before fsck?
