Hello, I am confused on which kernel parameter i should use:
ro or rw
I have one SSD with 2 physical partitions:
/dev/sda1 - EFI System Partition
/dev/sda2 - LVM2 partition which houses my root and home partitions
I keep my init ram disk and kernels on /dev/sda1
As i understand it, you would use ro in order to run a file system check on the root partition.
My question is, when does this fsck happen? Do I have to do it manually?
Also i am noticing a box made of astrisks fly by during boot up. This only occurs when NOT passing the rw kernel parameter.
I appreciate any clarification!

I believe the Grub default is 'rw' but I can't explain if or how that affects the fsck operations.

Thanks for the replys graysky and alex.theoto.
alex.theoto: yes that does help!
I checked my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, and 'fsck' is in the HOOKS.
Which means that my initramfs will fsck the root partition before it mounts it.
I guess if you do NOT pass 'rw' as a kernel parameter, then systemd might re-fsck the device.
So I need to make sure I am passing 'rw' as a kernel parameter.
