5 From /etc/conf.d/fsck, seems like a reason to keep the / FS as small as
6 possible to reduce the amount of time spent waiting during boot:
7
8 # fsck_shutdown causes fsck to trigger during shutdown as well as startup.
9 # The end result of this is that if any periodic non-root filesystem checks are
10 # scheduled, under normal circumstances the actual check will happen during
11 # shutdown rather than at next boot.
12 # This is useful when periodic filesystem checks are causing undesirable
13 # delays at startup, but such delays at shutdown are acceptable.
14 fsck_shutdown="YES"
