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.
