Fixed f.s. check at bootup

July 29, 2012 — BarryK
A full installation of Puppy will perform a filesystem check at bootup if there was a previous abnormal shutdown. I did some work on this for the Raspberry Pi Puppy alpha4, see earlier blog posts:

You might be interested in one of the original blogs post about this mechanism:

However, the mechanism is still broken in RP Puppy alpha4. I have now fixed it, see Woof commit:

...see script /sbin/initNEW, that becomes /sbin/init in a running Puppy.
