Bug Description

This system reports /dev/sda5 will be checked on the next reboot. Maybe it is (it's EXT4 on as SSD drive, so it could be too fast to notice), but the message persists even after such a reboot.

I would expect it to go away.

You should be able to manually do

fsck /dev/sda5

If the filesystem on sda5 is listed in /etc/fstab, then sixth fstab field for that filesystem should be '2'. If it is 0, then indeed it won't be fsck'd on reboot.

fstab is owned by util-linux, but system bringup belongs to systemd, so I'm assigning this to the systemd package. However I suspect fstab lists '0' for the sixth field, and the system is doing what it is told.

Please show the results of 'mount | grep sda5' and the contents of /etc/fstab.
