Public bug reported:
After unclean shutdown I've saw a message:
"Your disk drives are being checked for errors, this might take some time
Checking disk ... of ... (...% complete)
Press C to cancel all checks currently in progress"
This message has been continuosly incrementing disks (2 of 3, 3 of 4, 4
of 5,... untill 199), then it dropped me to console asking for root
password for maintenance. "C" key didn't work (I've tried both lowercase
and uppercase).
I've got only one disk at the moment with three partitions:
$ LC_ALL=C sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x4d7f4d7f
