I've seen something similar: Just after we brought up 4.0 an fsck -p
didn't check a couple of the filesystems it was supposed to. As I recall,
we verified that the associated /etc/fstab entries indicated that the
filesystems should be checked. We tried to reproduce the bug, but
couldn't. We recounted this to Sun and after a day they got back to us
and suggested that we check the /etc/fstab entries... We asked if they'd
file it as a suspected bug, but they refused.
Has anyone else ever seen this?
