Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-59 Severity: wishlist Hi,
if one has a file system that is not automatically mounted on boot, but only later when it is needed for a short period of time (for example, an FS holding a backup), one should have the possibility to fsck this file system periodically as well. That would be very much simpler if the fsck mechanism used in /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh were useable after boot to keep people from having to reinvent the wheel. This could probably be done by either factoring out the fsck mechanism to a dedicated /sbin script, or by extending /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh so that a call like "/etc/init.d/checkfs.sh manual /dev/mapper/vg0-mybackup" does the intended thing. I am willing to provide and support a patch, should you indicate that you would accept it. Please also state what you'd prefer the patch to do.
