            Bug ID: 246201
           Summary: /etc/fstab "failok" option should apply to fsck as
                    well as mount
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd-bugzilla at thismonkey.com

When the /etc/fstab option "failok" is configured for a UFS device which may,
at times, be missing, boot still fails (drops into single-user mode).

This is because fsck also runs against /etc/fstab, and considers the missing
device to be a failure condition.

fsck should be patched to also continue, possibly returning a different return
code.

Bug 163668 fixed the missing device issue in mount, but fsck was never taken
into account (that I can see).
