[Bug 513644] Re: Does not log fsck invocations in /var/log/fsck/

[Daniel Richard G.]

Tristan, I agree with you, but unfortunately would have to recommend
using Debian instead of Ubuntu for server applications. Not only was
this bug the result of an oversight in switching to mountall, mountall
itself made the system less admin-friendly by doing away with several
boot-time shell scripts (which could be inspected and directly edited as
necessary), in favor of a better consumer desktop startup experience.
Server usage in general is an afterthought here.

Title:
  Does not log fsck invocations in /var/log/fsck/

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mountall

  This concerns mountall 1.0 in Karmic.

  After fsck is invoked at boot time, the two log files in
  /var/log/fsck/ remain empty. In Jaunty, the
  /etc/init.d/check{fs,root}.sh scripts saved the output of the commands
  to that directory ("A log is being saved in ${FSCK_LOGFILE} if that
  location is writable") but mountall has yet to do this.

  As this would have to be newly implemented, I'd like to request a
  slight change from the Jaunty behavior, and have entries be appended
  to the log files rather than the files being overwritten each time
  with the latest (single) entry. Log rotation on these files may be
  good, too, although I'm not sure which package would/should be
  responsible for that.
