I restarted my system with the file /forcefsck and now I’d like to see the result. Where do I find it? I’ve run grep -Re fsck /var/log/* and haven’t turned up a single hit on anything.
I’m running openSUSE 11.4 64-bit and my basic file systems are ext4.

Nowhere, AFAIK.
While it runs there is no filesystem to write a log to.

Ah yes, that makes perfect sense. Well, almost perfect. The log could be held in reserve until it’s mounted.
So how do I find out what happened?
Well if you press esc after boot selection you will see what happens but it will not go to a log but to the screen. If there is no problems with the disk you won’t see much though.

And with systemd the screen is deleted when it gets to the first prompt,
so you see nothing. And even with systemv it scrolls out of sight pretty
fast.
So no, impossible to know after the fact what happened with fsck. If you
want to see it, do it yourself, via live system.

With systemd fsck output should be stored in journal. Unfortunately, 12.2 ships with very early version, which does not offer many possibilities to filter output (if any), so one has to browse through all of it. “systemd-journalctl -a”
