Those say whether the filesystem should be checked, not when. > Obviously, if "/usr" is on a separate partition, it needs to be mounted > at the time when "/usr/sbin/fsck" is expected to be present. fsck is in /sbin, but that's not the point. If you have an initramfs, fsck should be in it and run before /usr is mounted rw, which means it has to be done by the initramfs. It's too late to do it when control has been handed over because then /usr is already mounted rw. > > On Sat, Jan 13, 2018 at 2:54 PM, Neil Bothwick <n...@digimed.co.uk> > wrote: > > > On Sat, 13 Jan 2018 21:29:12 +0200, Alan McKinnon wrote: > > > > > fwiw, fsck here runs automagically at startup whenever the fs is > > > dirty, and I do not use an initramfs at all.
