I am having this issue also. fsck is not running on my root drive on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server edition I have tried fsck.mode=force in grub on the kernel command line to no success. I have set the mount count to 1 with tune2fs -c 1 /dev/sda2 and rebooted and still no fsck. Instead I just get a text message saying you need to do a fsck on /dev/sda2.
