Public bug reported:
After upgrading to Ibex yesterday, upon reboot an fsck was performed on
all of my disks. The messages displayed, however, led me to believe
that the machine had hung. Specifically, the splash screen switched to
a text console, some fsck messages were shown, and at the very bottom, a
log messages along the lines of "now mounting swap disks [OK]" appeared.
And then nothing.
(The first time this happened, I switched terminals using Alt-F1 and
then could not get back using Alt-F2, adding to the impression that the
system was hung.)
Because the fsck message was not the final one, I was fooled into
thinking that the fsck's had all completed, when in fact this was not
the case.
Somehow the log messages need to change so that while an fsck is
ongoing, a message to that effect is the bottom one on the screen. Or,
at least, at the point of the original fsck, an expanded message should
appear like "This fsck is proceeding in the background and may take many
minutes. If your system seems to hang at some point prior to the login
prompt, it's probably not actually hung, but rather this fsck is still
proceeding."
