Does anyone know what the obstacles are to putting fsck for common
filesystems into RAM before the rest of fstab is mounted?
I'm dealing with a number of older persons dipping their toes into
Linux, and whenever there is a power event, they all get the dreaded
root prompt requesting an fsck on their mounted root partition.
Everything on the internet points to booting from a live cd/usb, and
fsck-ing it from there, but that is kinda terrible. If it were in the
initramfs, then they could unmount root & do the fsck without having to
reach for a livecd.
