Thank you, Tito. But I am not sure this is correct:

As I understand the whole point of "logsave" is that if directory of
logfile (/var/log/fsck) does not exist, "logsave" will wait till it
appears.

So, by the time we are logging this message, ${FSCK_LOGFILE} may not
exists yet, but its future content is hanging somewhere in memory of
"logsave" process.

Problem is that I do not understand, when /var/log/fsck exist for sure.

Collegues, I need help with evaluating proposed change.
