ok, waiting for it to happen again. when i was ready to shutdown both my vivid boxes last night i just flipped off their powerstrip switches without logout nor shutdown. this morning, no FSCKs. whatever triggers them, that's not it.
maybe time discrepancy, if the last OS running had the wrong time? there are open bugs re booting up with the wrong time, eg Bug #1335522 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438824 Title: ALL FSCKs triggered for no apparent reason Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: this bug has been around since early in vivid devel cycle, both before and after making systemd the default. i AM GRATEFUL that systemd DOES know how to properly parallelize all the fsck processes, activating only one per spindle at all times. still, i see no apparent reason that very frequently (tho not always) fsck is scheduled for ALL filesystems, when the preceeding event was a proper shutdown/reboot. i may reboot several times in a day (switching between different vivid installs) and often ALL filesystems are checked several times in a row. the current bootup is one such. several fsck processes still continue as i write this.
