Wow, that's hackish :) maybe you could first try to add a "sleep 5" or something in /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh to avoid the race.
In my opinion it can come from either udev, the kernel, or upstart. The clean solution would be to make sure that udev settles down before starting checkfs. -- checkfs fails at startup while trying to check /dev/.tmp-XXX https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118397 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
