+ * initramfs-tools does not include fsck in initrd if MNT_PASS equals
zero in the fstab entries.
This has lead to the following situation :
when dropping to initramfs shell during boot due to fs errors, we are not
able to run fsck manually
because it is not included in initrd.
fsck should be included regardless of the MNT_PASS value.
[Test Plan]
- * change /etc/fstab with PASSNO set to 0 for all entries
- * update-initramfs -u
- * lsinitramfs that is just generated
- * observe that it includes fsck utilities for the filesystems in /etc/fstab.
I.e. fsck.ext4 e2fsck must exist
