I think removing ‘quiet splash’ is a red herring. I can reproduce the problem by creating /forcefsck, whether or not ‘quiet splash’ is in the boot flags. Here is a bootchart without ‘quiet splash’ that demonstrates the same problem (mountall spins at 100% CPU for 200 seconds after all the fscks are complete).
** Attachment added: "balanced-tree-lucid-20100430-3.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/46771060/balanced-tree-lucid-20100430-3.png ** Description changed: PROBLEM When a disk check is performed, the progress stalls somewhere around 70% and will then take a very long time finishing the remaining percent (10 minutes or more). WORKAROUND - If you are currently seeing this, it should be possible to get past the - issue by simply switching out to a Virtual Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and - wait for the boot process to finish from there. - - Similarly, removing "quiet" and "splash" from the kernel boot line will - allow normal boot - + Wait several minutes for mountall to realize that the disk check is + complete. You should not see this problem on subsequent boots, until + the next disk check is necessary. ORIGINAL REPORT Binary package hint: mountall On my system when fsck runs at boot plymouth % completion count goes up quickly (<10 seconds) up to about 80% and then slows down considerably: the complete fsck of my 125GB HD, 30% full takes more than 5 minutes. While this goes on the text VTs are all completely blank: just a blinking cursor. An fsck from a recovery disk completes in ~10 seconds so it doesn't look like "fsck just being slow". This slowdown was *not* happening on 2010-04-14 with the PPA described by this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/554737/comments/25 The fix in the PPA is now in the mainline lucid but somewhere in between then and today (2010-04-29) something introduced this slowdown.
