Thanks for the answer, Matthew.
What would be the benefit to design it this way? There can be many
reasons not to continue the boot if fsck fails. For example:
- I might not have the time to repair the filesystem right now.
- I might need some specific tool for the repair.
- I might want to restore the filesystem from a backup with a live-CD
In all those situations, I definitely do _not_ want the boot to continue
when I say "shutdown -r now". This simply doesn't make sense, IMHO.
