I'm sorry to come back to you late. Thanks for the PR, i agree, we need some sort of checking before mounting - but i don't want this to be imposed, it should come with an option to able to skip or enable it, if you are working on it i'll be glad to merge. |

This change adds support for checking the integrity of filesystems mounted from within the initramfs. Systemd wants the filesystem on which /usr resides mounted when it finally takes over from initramfs, but does not seem to launch a systemd-fsck job for that filesystem later on, even if the filesystem is mounted ro. The result is that the /usr-hosting filesystem could go unchecked for a long time. The problem is not limited to /usr, but all early mounts mentioned in initramfs.mounts. Furthermore, fsck'ing should work on the physical device, final mounting should take into account existing symbolic or logical disk/LVM names for the purpose of enhanced readability.
