[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#510367: initscripts: checkfs.sh runs before /etc/modules processed

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-61
Severity: normal


Hi, I have an IDE boot disk, and additional SCSI disk that needs module 
eata listed in /etc/modules in order to be accessible.

When the system boots, checkfs.sh runs before module eata loads, and so 
fsck is not performed on the filesystems on the SCSI disk. 

/etc/modules is then processed and the SCSI disk is accessible.

After that mountall.sh is run, and the filesystems on the SCSI disk are 
mounted without being checked and without having fsck run on the 
filesystems.

The modules listed in /etc/modules should probably be loaded before 
checkfs.sh is run.

I'm also a little suprised that module eata doesn't get loaded 
automatically earlier on as my initramfs has the default configuration 
of "most".
