Public bug reported:

After upgrading some servers from 16.04 to 18.04 I'm met with a MOTD
that says:

*** /dev/xvda1 should be checked for errors ***

I added "fsck.mode=force" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in
/etc/default/grub before running 'sudo update-grub'. I also verified
that fsck was present in /boot/grub/grub.cfg afterwards, before
rebooting the server.

Surprisingly I was met with the same error message in MOTD when logging
in. I then ran tune2fs to see when the last check was performed and this
is the output:

$ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/xvda1  | grep checked
Last checked:             Wed Sep 12 16:17:00 2018

I then tried to change mount count to 1 with tune2fs -c 1 /dev/xvda1,
but after another reboot I was still met with the same error message and
the timestamp for last checked was unchanged.

I have the same problem on all the servers that was upgraded from 16.04
to 18.04, but also on a new server installed directly with 18.04.

In should be mentioned that the servers are AWS EC2 instances, so I have
no way of trying to run fsck from a liveusb.

Another user has reported the same issue here:

I'm not quite sure what information is needed, but attached are some
basic information about the system.

Please let me know if you need any any other outputs or logs.
