Comment 3 for bug 692355

I'm seeing this on an upgraded Natty vmware instance.

Relevant fstab entry:
UUID=cbdda93e-2d89-47be-9bee-ce24bf1376ce /boot ext3 relatime 0 2

touched /boot/forcefsck and rebooted - file still there.

boot.log says:
/sbin/fsck.xfs: XFS file system.
/sbin/fsck.xfs: XFS file system.
/dev/sda1: clean, 236/36144 files, 52572/144552 blocks
