Bug Description

sysvinit shutdown had a nice option (-F) that forced a fsck on next boot.
Unfortunately, this option was lost when upstart replaced sysvinit on Edgy; could -F be added back?

Thanks!

A "touch /forcefsck" should do the trick.

I was wondering if this option was standard and I found in Debian changelog that it was added in Debian sysvinit (2.73-1) unstable, so it seems a Debian specific feature which probably doesn't need to be in upstart. Therefore, I'm withdrawing my own bug report; if anyone else feels that this should be done, please reopen it.

Thanks, Michael :)

Actually, since Debian maintained sysvinit for everybody, this has been generally supported everywhere; so is a valid request
