There is conrrently a bug in the initscripts and/or util-linux packages
(bug #344818, #343645); the bug is that checkroot.sh is run before
hwclockfirst.sh, so if the hwclock is in local time (as needed to
dual-boot with some other OSen) and you reboot in a timezone west of UTC,
the superblock timestamp appears to be in the future. This bug should be
fixed in either the util-linux or initscripts packages.
However, this bug exposes an e2fsck bug: when you run `e2fsck -a` and the
superblock timestamp is in the future, e2fsck marks the FS as having
errors and gives up. On the next pass of `e2fsck -a`, it sees the error
flag, fixes the superblock timestamp, checks everything else and succeeds.
IMO, e2fsck should not require 2 passes with -a just to fix one timestamp.
Currently, the simplest workaround is to hit ^D after the fsck failure so
that checkroot.sh reboots the system and fsck (and booting) succeeds on
the next pass. This cannot be fixed in the initscripts package, since
checkroot.sh has no way of knowing the e2fsck return code >= 4 signals
such a trivial problem.
