Package: debian-reference-en
Version: 2.58
Severity: normal

Hi Osamu,

Section 9.5.6. Filesystem creation and integrity check
 has incomplete or misleading information on fsck.

Apparently, Debian now defaults to no periodic fsck after filesystem creation.  
This should be mentioned.  

Also the Tip in this section incorrectly says:

Use "shutdown -F -r now" to force to run the fsck(8) command
    safely on all filesystems including root filesystem on reboot.
    See the shutdown(8) manpage for more.

But there is no shutdown -F option in the manpage nor in shutdown --help.

Perhaps replace the Tip with this:

Tip

Debian now defaults to no periodic fsck after filesystem creation.  You may 
enable checks in /etc/mke2fs.conf  (enable_periodic_fsck)  See man mke2fs.conf 
or with the tune2fs command.

The command tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 [or your device] shows when, or if, your disk
will be checked.  See also 9.5.8. Optimization of filesystem via superblock.

Thanks!
Ralph
