Where are fsck results logged at boot time, after /forcefsck?

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – When working remotely I set a server to force an fsck at boot time with the "sudo touch /forcefsck" command and rebooted. After it restarted I checked in /var/log/fsck for the results of the disk check, but both checkfs and checkroot said "(Nothing has been logged yet.) So where is it saving the results? (I'll add that this was on an 11.10 server) (HowTos)

How to set systemd for automatically force fsck disks after crash (hard poweroff)?

When I used sysvinit (in Arch Linux) as /sbin/init I used the hack: in the rc.local I create /forcefsck file; in the rc.local.shutdown I remove it. At boot-up rc.sysinit enable force fsck if /forcefsck exists.

How to do same in systemd?

Is there a way to check the progress of fsck.ext3 under Ubuntu, if I'm logged in remotely?

Obviously the time taken depends on a lot of factors, but if fsck has to option of displaying a progress bar, it should be possible

EDIT: Seems I didn't make the question clear enough.

I have a headless Ubuntu 12.04 server in a datacenter 1500 miles away. Twice now on reboot the system decided it had to fsck. Unfortunately Ubuntu ran fsck in interactive mode, so I had to ask someone at my datacenter to go over, plug in a console, and press the Y key.

Automatic fsck 42 weeks 1 day ago

From time to time it happens that I have a power failure and my computer shuts down uncleanly. Every time it happens, though, the next boot drops me into an emergency shell and tells me to run fsck manually. This has happened more than once, and each time the system boots fine after running fsck. When I used Ubuntu I never had to run it manually.

Hi,

On 10.04.4 LTS.

My backup server was improperly shut down due to power failure. However, at that time, backups were turned off.

When turned back on, an automatic fsck was launched on a disk (first one since creation, ~300 days ago).

Problem during boot 26 weeks 6 days ago

Hello,

I'm new to this forum. I have a Fedora server that acts as mail server. Today morning i've found that the file system was in readonly mode, the hard disk was full at 27%... so I've rebooted it to run fsck to check filesystem integrity but... The server wont reboot. Now the server cannot boot, and show in the screen some code like this:

[ubuntu] Fsck after boot ? 3 years 22 weeks ago

I have a relatively new install of Ubuntu 9.10. I have two hard drives /dev/sda1 & /dev/sdb1 both ext3. Today for the first time a filesystem check was run on /dev/sdb1 but it ran after boot instead of before. I thought filesystem checks had to run in read only mode, before the filesystem was mounted.
