Because with systemd it is even more cumbersome to force a fsck of the root FS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74139 Title: shutdown missing -F (force fsck) option To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/74139/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 74139] Re: shutdown missing -F (force fsck) option
Upstart upstream took a decision to abandon one of its goals of userland tools compatible with other init systems. In practice, it never got any further than implementing tools somewhat like the SysV tools that were in Debian (which were even different from those in RedHat), and these had plenty of obscure features like "-F", "shutdown.allow", etc. Most of these obscure features are not something we would want to support in the future; fsck in particularly is slowly undergoing big changes that will mean you can do it on the fly, with no need to reboot, etc. so why support -F ? Likewise shutdown.allow is better handled nowadays through PolicyKit. Thus the decision was taken for Upstart's userland tools to be native, and provide the minimum functionality that a user might expect from them, without bloating them. Other functionality (like forced fsck) can be provided elsewhere. As Kyle says above, simply touch a file before calling shutdown - a GUI can do this. -- shutdown missing -F (force fsck) option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74139 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Surely its not too hard just to add the -f option that touches /forcefsck before you issue your shutdown.

For various reasons, the compat branch of shutdown and reboot are being dropped -- these will now be considered Upstart Native tools and may not behave 100% like their sysvinit equivalents ** Changed in: upstart Status: Triaged => Won't Fix -- shutdown missing -F (force fsck) option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74139 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is a missing feature from the "compat" shutdown utility, it should be pretty trivial to add since it just seems to touch a file. I wrote compat/sysv/shutdown by reading the documentation, so there are several "hidden" features like this that are missing. -- shutdown missing -F (force fsck) option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74139 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
