OK: Let's assume you install Ubuntu onto a server. And for any reason, you'd like to restart it. In most of the cases you'll do that remotely after logging in by ssh while the system stands at your ISP. How to abort a check "while it is happening"? Sorry, that lacks any reality.
Not everyone uses Ubuntu/Linux just on his/her own local workstation. Some even use it as a server , where any minute of downtime is something you really would like to prevent. I'm really interested in how to "skip a filesystem check when it happens" when a remote server reboots. It was a failure to remove that triggers in this 8.04 LTS. That's not an argument to keep this error alive just "because it has been so earlier, too". The fact is: You removed a very vital "old-school" - feature here, have no realistic workaround and your only idea is to argue like this? Sorry, I think you're lacking the point here. It is not that I'm asking "hey - I've read about a really cool feature in a Windows book and think you should do it exactly like there", I'm just asking to re-implement a feature, that has been falsely removed because of whatever. It was a failure and there has to be a fix correcting this. -- Please add option -f and -F to shutdown for LPIC compatibility https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/535120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
