[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#568252: Please support running fsck for / from an initramfs

[Goswin von Brederlow]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.87dsf-8
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

if / needs to be checked and the check modifies it then one must
reboot. On some systems this adds minutes to the boot process. This
extra reboot could be avoided if the initramfs would already check /
before mounting it.
