It may be deliberate, but it is a bug nonetheless. I'd say that 95+% of the improper shutdowns I've ever had have been on battery-powered devices, so specifically skipping filesystem checks on those devices is a huge problem.
As mentioned above, the power savings when the filesystem is fine is negligible, so there is no benefit. Unless you consider corrupted data a benefit. Go ahead and skip the periodic check if you want, but do not skip a check forced due to an improper shutdown. I am a relative noob to Ubuntu, having used Debian for the last ~10 years and now experimenting with Ubuntu due to the improved high-level usability over Debian. But poor low-level usability like this is driving me right back to Debian. -- fsck not run on boot if on battery power https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
