Hi Osamu -- As a Debian user, not a software developer, I can only point
to the the problem and suggest a clearer description. The Debian 8
Release Notes confirm the maintainer's comments in replying to my
comment in bug #792752.
Debian 8 Release Notes
4.6.2. Changes to root and /usr filesystem mounting and checking
initramfs-tools will now also run fsck on the root filesystem
before mounting it. If the chosen init program is systemd and
there is a separate /usr filesystem, it will also fsck and mount
/usr.
Suggestions:
1) Remove misleading or erroneous info in debian-reference:
Remove from 9.5.6. Filesystem creation and integrity check:
Tip
Use "shutdown -F -r now" to force to run the fsck(8) command
safely on all filesystems including root filesystem on reboot.
See the shutdown(8) manpage for more.
I also believe, but don't know, that the tip in the prior paragraph is
also misleading or erroneous and should be removed:
Tip
Check files in "/var/log/fsck/" for the result of the fsck(8)
command run from the boot script.
2) Replace these tips with this, which is true but perhaps not
comprehensive.
Tip
The command "cat /run/initramfs/fsck.log" will show the result for
the fsck(8) command run from initramfs-tools before the root filesystem
was mounted.
Hope this helps.
Ralph
