I am running into this same issue downstream testing ubuntu 15.10. My 
small partitions check fine, but one that takes a lot longer to check is 
always fails the check during startup. I thought the problem might be 
related to either dm-raid or a timeout, but if other people are having 
the problem it is probably a timeout or race condition between other 
services. When I run a manual fsck.ext4, I have no issues at all so it 
seems to be an integration problem with systemd.
