Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-57
Severity: wishlist
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Don't force users to wait for / to finish running a scheduled fsck
(every X days or Y boots) before they can start using the system.
If I hit Ctrl+C during a / scan, the / partition is left read-only, and
the system has problems booting up and takes a long time.
I've discussed this a bit on the Debian Users mailing list. Here is the
thread:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2008/06/msg00833.html
I'm going to file some related feature requests against the
e2fsprogs package (will follow up this feature request with
the bug number).
Here are some sysvinit-specific features requests. Let me know if I
should file these as feature requests against other packages instead:
1) Allow users to temporarily bypass fsck
Give users a warning before starting a scheduled fsck. Let them press a
key to bypass it this time (it will run at the next boot).
2) Let users cleanly interrupt bootup fsck
Users should be allowed to interrupt a scheduled / fsck, without leaving
the / partition readonly.
3) Let the user run fscks (scheduled or user-forced) at other times
besides boot.
eg:
3.1) During shutdown, after the disks are unmounted, but before the
system is halted.
3.2) During bootup (same time as "shutdown -rF", but the system will
power off immediately after that)
3.3) During shutdown/reboot (and then a power off, as above), but only
if the partitions had a scheduled fsck.

Hi David,
Thank you for the report. I think this is not a request that will
benefit the general public. You can always hack the
/etc/init.d/checkroot.sh to your needs and keep the desired local
version.
Feel free to reopen it if you think otherwise.
Yours,
Benda
