[Bug 1504688] Re: fsck runs on every boot (clean install, single ext4 filesystem)

[Jason Benjamin]

The problem is real, but there's there's a simple solution.  Edit
'/etc/default/grub' and find the line: 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT'.
Add 'fastboot' option to the list.  After that update grub ('sudo
update-grub').  This is not necessarily a workaround as the problem may
have been an omission in the original configuration of grub.

On another note, however, the splash screen still just flashes on reboot
occasionally or just doesn't show.  Also changing the /etc/fstab entries
is unnecessary and useless on its own from my attempts.

Title:
  fsck runs on every boot (clean install, single ext4 filesystem)

Status in upstart package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  fsck runs early on *every* boot (and always says "/dev/sda1: clean ...")
  The system was always shut down using the regular Unity mechanism (Gear->Shut Down...)

  Strangely, the "Last checked" time shown by "sudo dumpe2fs /dev/sda1"
  shows the date of installation and never changes.

  This system is a brand new, clean install from the 15.10 beta2 iso, with subsequent updates.
  I took all the installer defaults, which created a single ext4 file system.

  Please see attached:

    dumpe2fs_out.txt - output from "sudo dumpe2fs /dev/sda1"
