Hi, recently we discussed the anoyance that is fsck during boot on irc and came to the conclusion that on many systems the shutdown would be a btter time to do this. Specifically consider a desktop at work. Every morning you turn it on and it boots and you have to wait for the boot to finish. Every evening you type halt and go home without waiting. Wouldn't it be nice if during shutdown it would run fsck whenever the next boot would do so? That way the next morning you do not have to wait for the fsck before starting to work. Implementation wise I think it would be best if it continous the shutdown if fsck fails and let the user handle that case by a repeated fsck during the next boot.
