+README for f2fs-tools
+
+
+f2fs-tools' fsck tool by default refuses to check a mounted filesystem
+whether it's mounted read-only or not. This causes fsck to fail at boot
+and prompt for the root password for filesystem maintenance. In order to
+avoid this it is recommended that the 6th field (fs_passno) of any f2fs
+entries in /etc/fstab be set to 0.
+
+Hopefully this will be fixed upstream sometime in a new release.
+
+If you REALLY want to work around this limitation a user-submitted patch
+for /etc/rc can be found below, but note that this is NOT supported.
