Hi,
when I as root do "touch /forcefsck" and reboot, then fsck will be done.
But afterwards one has less free memory available than normal.
Example:
used mem immediately after login:
  without fsck during boot:  98 MB (this the normal level here)
  with fsck during boot   : 139 MB
So, there is a memory leak of about 41 MB.

This discrepancy is reproducible here, ie. happens always.

Not sure, but it could also be a kernel issue, because
the longer the system runs the more memory gets bound.
The source of the culprit is not easily detectable.
I guess it gets eaten by the kernel, probably by the ext4-driver.

fsck from util-linux 2.25.2
Filesys: ext4, 500 MB SSD

fix: of course 500 GB was meant

OS: Debian 8 X86_64, uptodate
