Skipping fsck at boot, when the system's on battery, would appear to |
21 |
be hard coded in /etc/init.d/fsck ... and the function it uses to |
22 |
check is completely independent of userspace tools related to PM. The |
23 |
only thing it checks is the /proc tree. You can make it ignore all of |
24 |
that and force a check by booting with forcefsck on your kernel |
25 |
command line or by creating the file /forcefsck (simply using touch |
26 |
should suffice). |

You say "Chaos ensues" ... in what way? Further errors, failure to |
29 |
boot, file system corruption, or...? The problem isn't likely rooted |
30 |
in the fact that it doesn't run an fsck when the system's booting on |
31 |
battery, but rather that you have some more pressing problem that |
32 |
should be addressed. |
