No, when the filesystem is mounted read-only it is marked as "clean". fsck(8) says that: "In "preen" mode the clean flag of each filesystem's superblock is examined and only those filesystems that are not marked clean are checked. Filesystems are marked clean when they are unmounted, when they have been mounted read-only, or when fsck runs on them successfully." > If I mount a UFS file system as read only (on an IDE HDD) will it still > require an fsck after an unclean shutdown?
