Yes, there are good reasons a person would not want to run the operating system on a filesystem in need of repairs. Good reasons.RetroTechGuy wrote:
I'm hoping that Barry will make this the default, in the next official release (I don't want newbies to need to learn too much, too fast -- make it easy for them to "join the club" ;) )
Nevertheless, I highly doubt what you are 'hoping' for will happen at the developer level (i.e. Barry) The reason why is he already did it and guess what? Lots of complaints because users were having to wait for the e2fsck to complete. (I think it was version 3.1)
However, if you can, it's easy to modify initrd.gz to have this option and other options as you please.
