 /dev/sda3 is the root partition.

Does your kernel have the ro option specified? I know little about
this, but I think ext34 partitions cannot be checked while mounted
read-write and the usual way of doing this for the root partition has
been to add ro to the kernel command line, and to remount the root
partition read-write after checking it. (Though running the check from
initramfs might be an even better method, Arch here has an option for
that.)

 Hi all,

 I just moved my desktop to systemd, and saw a couple things as I

An error code of 8 for fsck means an operational error/general failure. Do
you get this error every time you boot or is it a one off thing? Have you
tried running it manually?

FWIW, I don't think mounting root without the ro option should be causing
this problem, then again it is better to check and see if it works.

You're absolutely right that ext{2,3,4} partitions need to be
read-only for fsck. The latter throws up a very scary warning if you
try to run it on a partition mounted read-write. Here's the kernel
line from /boot/grub/menu.lst (haven't converted to grub2 yet):

kernel /vmlinuz-linux
root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/a7f84383-2cc2-4d70-adb5-3bf909a3f99b loglevel=3
ro quiet splash
resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/2d185a12-115f-4f93-99a3-bfca4d0fc216

To the first question, I don't know. I know I have
occasionally--rarely enough that I forget--had trouble with large
partitions (it didn't seem to appear before I had disks that had
partitions larger than 500GB) where I needed to run e2fsck on them to
clear a warning. This didn't even occur to me as something to check
because I was focused on the system coming up for the first time under
systemd.

So I rebooted off a CD-ROM and ran e2fsck manually (with -fy), it ran
cleanly, and when I rebooted off the hard drive, it came up cleanly.

Thanks!
