Those say whether the filesystem should be checked, not when. |

fsck is in /sbin, but that's not the point. If you have an initramfs, |
| 11 |
fsck should be in it and run before /usr is mounted rw, which means it |
| 12 |
has to be done by the initramfs. It's too late to do it when control has |
| 13 |
been handed over because then /usr is already mounted rw. |
