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

[Dan Muresan]

Even on MS Windows you can dig out fsck messages with the eventviewer.
This is stupid, lazy and arrogant.

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.
