OpenRC (0.2.2) doesn't respect the /forcefsck file

[Jakub Januszkiewicz <jakub.januszkiewicz@gmail.com>]

OpenRC's fsck init script doesn't respect the /forcefsck file created by 'shutdown -F'.

According to 'man shutdown':
"The -F flag means 'force fsck'. This only creates an advisory file /forcefsck which can be tested by the system when it comes up again. The boot rc file can test if this file is present, and decide to run fsck(1) with a special 'force' flag so that even properly unmounted filesystems get checked. After that, the boot process should remove /forcefsck."

This patch:

• adds -f to fsck_opts if /forcefsck exists
• changes ebegin message to indicate the check is forced
• removes /forcefsck

What might be improved is that I think /forcefsck should only be removed if the fsck succeeds (so that if it is interrupted or fails, it runs again on the next boot), but I don't know how to check for it in init.d/root.

Comitted, thanks.

If you wanted to force fsck again during the next reboot then simply shutdown -F again I'd say.
