Comments on the patch: We can't rm the flag file in halt/reboot because this script runs after the root filesystem has been remounted read-only.
Assume that the flag file is deleted earlier. Does the code make sense? It currently thinks: If the flag file is present on the root filesystem then filesystems other than the root filesystem should be checked. But the flag file may be present even though non-root filesystems have been cleanly unmounted; and the flag file may be absent even though the root filesystem was not cleanly unmounted. It would be more reliable to base the decision on filesystem metadata. Can we use some program, perhaps fsck itself, to find out whether each filesystem was unmounted cleanly last time? And isn't this what already happens? We already have /forcefsck and /fastboot. Now the proposal is to add /.autofsck. Perhaps we should be more consistent in how we name these files. -- Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
