It was not intended to fix this.
<span class="quote">> From additional debugging, for boots where the fscks fail it looks like the

fsck from util-linux will be changed to not take write locks on the disk
device.
We need to disable udev's locking logic, or stop using '-l' until fsck is
changed.</pre>
