[Bug 1432023] [NEW] spurious checking of ALL filesystems

 

Public bug reported:

on bootup sometimes ALL filesystems are checked.  this happens even when
the prior action was an apparently successful shutdown.  and this
happens sometimes several times in a row, so clearly has nothing to do
with mount counts.  but, it doesn't always happen.

i have 2 vivid installs in separate partitions.  today i was booting
back and forth between them.  one of them checked ALL filesystems each
time, and the other didn't.  i even emergency rebooted(^-ALT-PrSc-b)
during the simultaneous checking of several filesystems and booted into
the partition that wasn't (today) doing the spurious checking, and it
still didn't.  returning to this one, it did again.  i'm filing this bug
from this bootup (that once again just did the checking of ALL
filesystems).

note that this bug decidedly exacerbates the reach and effect of another
mountall bug, "improper simultaneity of fscks", such that these bootups
spend nearly a half hour doing fscks, which, if simultaneity were
actually sorted out according to different spindles, would be complete
within a couple minutes at most.  this is not conjecture, other distros
do it properly, by still allowing me to specify the parallelism in
fstab.
