Bug Description
Binary package hint: upstart
Hello,
The -F option of the /sbin/shutdown command is useful: it allows you to force the operating system to check all partitions (fsck) at the next reboot.
In Ubuntu 6.10, this option has disappeared !
The command "shutdown -rF now" reboots the system, but does not force the checking of the filesystems. Also, the -F option is no longer in the shutdown manpage.
It appears the -F option was still there in Ubuntu 6.06.
As an aside, since Ubuntu is supposed to be based on Debian GNU/Linux, shutdown does have the -F flag in both Debian 3.1 (sarge) and Debian 4.0 (etch).
So, where did -F go ?

Ubuntu replaced sysvinit with upstart (see https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Replacement Init ).
Upstart's shutdown doesn't (yet?) support the -F option.
