Thank you for the clarification Martin. I was able to confirm that the fsck results are located in /run/initramfs/fsck.log on my test system as you described.
I found that if the /etc/default/grub file was modified to include: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="fsck.mode=force" Then after running "sudo update grub" and rebooting, the basic result was shown in /run/initramfs/fsck.log: Log of fsck -C -f -a -V -t ext4 /dev/mapper/ubuntu--16--04--1--vg-root Wed Sep 7 14:42:05 2016 fsck from util-linux 2.27.1 [/sbin/fsck.ext4 (1) -- /dev/mapper/ubuntu--16--04--1--vg-root] fsck.ext4 -f -a -C0 /dev/mapper/ubuntu--16--04--1--vg-root /dev/mapper/ubuntu--16--04--1--vg-root: 97274/689520 files (0.1% non-contiguous), 534347/2757632 blocks Wed Sep 7 14:42:06 2016 ---------------- If I modify /etc/default/grub to include: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="fsck.mode=force fsck.repair=yes" Then after running "sudo update grub" and rebooting, the verbose result was shown in /run/initramfs/fsck.log: Log of fsck -C -f -y -V -t ext4 /dev/mapper/ubuntu--16--04--1--vg-root Wed Sep 7 14:38:19 2016 fsck from util-linux 2.27.1 [/sbin/fsck.ext4 (1) -- /dev/mapper/ubuntu--16--04--1--vg-root] fsck.ext4 -f -y -C0 /dev/mapper/ubuntu--16--04--1--vg-root e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information /dev/mapper/ubuntu--16--04--1--vg-root: 97271/689520 files (0.1% non-contiguous), 534306/2757632 blocks Wed Sep 7 14:38:20 2016 ---------------- Best regards, -Adam -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1619753 Title: systemd-fsck does not show results of rootfs filesystem check in logs or journald To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1619753/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
