Re: [Bug 600475] [NEW] Include e2fsck.conf in default ramdisk

[Colin Watson]

But fsck isn't run in the initramfs - the root filesystem is mounted
read-only, and then fsck is run after changing to that root filesystem.
I don't see how including e2fsck.conf in the initramfs would help given
that it wouldn't be used there.

[Bug 600475] [NEW] Include e2fsck.conf in default ramdisk

[Fridtjof Busse]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

On Ubuntu lucid, if you create /etc/e2fsck.conf, it does not get included into 
the initramdisk when running update-initramfs. But since there are a few 
systems, especially embedded hardware, that e.g. do not have a RTC, it is 
important to be able to tell fsck to skip certain checks. But this is only 
possible if the configuration is available at boot-time.
I suggest an addition to initramfs-tools that checks for the existence of the 
configuration file and includes it.
