The default Gentoo fstab has the pass field set to 0 for partitions other than /. This means that after a crash or when shutdown -F is called only the root partition is fscked. See this thread in the forums for details: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=753811 Would suggest that either a comment is added to fstab to set this to a non-zero value, or the examples for non root partitions are altered with this value set to 2. Although everything is behaving as it should I'm not sure that it is the most desirable behaviour to have as default. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. shutdown -F 2. only / is checked, other partitions are skipped 3. Actual Results: only / was checked, other partitions were skipped
the only partitions the default fstab defines which should need to have fsck run on them are boot and root the current fstab defines the boot's as 1 while root is handled specially
actually, according to the manpage, the field should be set as: root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1 other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2 so ive updated the default fstab to have these values
