Bug#694986: flash-kernel: postinst modifies /etc/default/rcS
> * What will break if FSCKFIX=yes will be set on by default? There's an open bug for changing the default to yes, #637087. Reportedly, what might break is MD/LVM setups if fsck gets mistakenly run with -y on the wrong device; the discussion about this is rather unconclusive. > By the way neither -a nor -y mentioned in fsck(8) (but mentioned in > fsck.ext4(8)). Is it okay? It was removed from fsck(8): https://salsa.debian.org/debian/util-linux/commit/7208ef864bf903ae4eb16491e7cfd24cf792baad > fsck: remove fs-specific options from man page Even then it stated: > Options to different filesystem-specific fsck's are not standardized. > If in doubt, please consult the man pages of the filesystem-specific > checker. Although not guaranteed, the following options are supported > by most filesystem checkers: So I think there's some kind of issue with passing -a or -y in the general case; hopefully they are at least silently ignored by most implementations, aren't they? -- Pierre Ynard

Dear co-maintainers and maintainers of flash-kernel, what is current state of issue? * Does FSCKFIX=yes still wanted by `flash-kernel' package? * What will break if FSCKFIX=yes will be set on by default? One part of code, affected by value of FSCKFIX is checkroot.sh:213: if [ "$FSCKFIX" = yes ] then fix="-y" else fix="-a" fi This `fix' variable is used as argument at checkroot.sh:234: logsave -s $FSCK_LOGFILE fsck $spinner $force $fix -t $roottype $rootdev By the way neither -a nor -y mentioned in fsck(8) (but mentioned in fsck.ext4(8)). Is it okay?

Control: severity -1 important I'm not sure this is fixable, but I am sure it isn't release critical. Reduce the severity to important to reflect this fact. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I read this bug report, but fail to understand what exactly it is expected for the sysvinit maintainers to do here. Anyone care to explain what more can be done in this case? Roger, you cloned it instead of reassigning it. What did you have in mind? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Possibly it related to changing the FSCKFIX default and/or defaulting FSCKFIX if unconfigured depending upon if we could detect an interactive console. I understand the latter isn't always possible on arm systems-- there may be a console but it's not necessarily interactive. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
