** Summary changed:
- mountall hangs when fsck is run
+ mountall needs to flush plymouth message queue before emitting upstart events
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: mountall
On boots when fsck runs, mountall appears to hang. The mountall process
consumes 100% CPU time, and the following error message loops on the console:
"mountall: Plymouth command failed"
Although this error message continues to loop on the main console, login
is still possible on other consoles, or through kdm.
+
+ mountall needs to flush the plymouth message queue before each upstart
+ event that it emits; otherwise, plymouth may be killed in response to
+ one of these upstart events (in practice: filesystem -> gdm or rc-
+ sysinit -> plymouth-stop), leaving as the last message on the splash
+ screen whatever mountall managed to get out before plymouthd exited.
+ This is particularly disconcerting when gdm or kdm stops plymouth with
+ --retain-splash.
To reproduce:
1) Force a filesystem check:
# touch /forcefsck
2) Reboot
