Systemd 213 and fsck -l

[William Harrington]

Martin had issues with this release and his system configuration.

​http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=c343be283b7152554bac0c02493a4e1759c163f7

I'm wanting to apply the attached patch to revert (this is reverted in 214) this for 213.

I had the same problem as Martin, and it was indeed fixed by applying that change. Martin reported that he did not try the patch, but systemd 214, which has that applied, works fine. I think this change can be added to the book as a simple 1-liner sed, as that's all that's really changed other than documentation/comments.
