Subject: [PATCH v2] common/rc: add repair fsck flag -f for ext4
Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2025 14:20:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250625212022.35111-1-leah.rumancik@gmail.com> (raw)

There is a descrepancy between the fsck flags for ext4 during
filesystem repair and filesystem checking which causes occasional test
failures. In particular, _check_generic_filesystems uses -f for force
checking, but _repair_scratch_fs does not. In some tests, such as
generic/441, we sometimes exit fsck repair early with the filesystem
being deemed "clean" but then _check_generic_filesystems finds issues
during the forced full check. Bringing these flags in sync fixes the
flakes.
