I'm running into the same problem, however my case is not gdm related.

I've got a dev server system running karmic. On that server I'm mounting
about 10 file systems on bootup. On average every 5 boots or so one will
have to be checked. Now what happens for me is that the filesystem is
simply not mounted and fsckd in the background, while the normal boot
process continues.

That means a lot of services are started, even though filesystems that
contain data for them are not mounted (yet).

Postfix / mysql et al should not be started until all filesystems have
been mounted.

Is there any way to force the boot process to wait until everything has
been mounted?

The current way of background fscking will horribly break a lot of
server installs imho.

kind regards

boot process isn't paused while fsck runs on partition: boot process is 
completed with fsck running in the background preventing partition from mounting
