Thank you k-doug for placing the suggested workaround here! I would also like to mention that with regards to Xenial (16.04) and any Ubuntu release using systemd, the mechanism for forcing filesystem checks on startup is presently unable to display the results of the filesystem check on the rootfs in any logs or in journald, and I have recently opened a defect against systemd [1]. If you would agree with me that systemd-based Ubuntu's should have this visibility, please have a look at this new defect and upvote it if it is also effecting you.
Best regards, -Adam (paradox606) [1] - https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1619753 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mountall in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/513644 Title: Does not log fsck invocations in /var/log/fsck/ Status in mountall package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: mountall This concerns mountall 1.0 in Karmic. After fsck is invoked at boot time, the two log files in /var/log/fsck/ remain empty. In Jaunty, the /etc/init.d/check{fs,root}.sh scripts saved the output of the commands to that directory ("A log is being saved in ${FSCK_LOGFILE} if that location is writable") but mountall has yet to do this. As this would have to be newly implemented, I'd like to request a slight change from the Jaunty behavior, and have entries be appended to the log files rather than the files being overwritten each time with the latest (single) entry. Log rotation on these files may be good, too, although I'm not sure which package would/should be responsible for that.
