Hi,
recently we discussed the anoyance that is fsck during boot on irc and
came to the conclusion that on many systems the shutdown would be a
btter time to do this.
Specifically consider a desktop at work. Every morning you turn it on
and it boots and you have to wait for the boot to finish. Every
evening you type halt and go home without waiting.
Wouldn't it be nice if during shutdown it would run fsck whenever the
next boot would do so? That way the next morning you do not have to
wait for the fsck before starting to work.
Implementation wise I think it would be best if it continous the
shutdown if fsck fails and let the user handle that case by a repeated
fsck during the next boot.
MfG
Goswin
PS: It might even check / too after mounting it read-only again, right?
