The problem is that "boots" is not accurate. A filesystem can be mounted at other times than just at boot up. For example, if you have a USB exnternal disk, it will get mounted each time you insert it into your system. In addition, on larger systems there may be multiple partitions and filesystems, and so it's not "your hard disk", it's a specific filesystem. And we deliberately stagger things so that if you have multiple filesystems, we don't check them all at one time.
In any case, there are many, many messages that get printed at boot time, and not all of them make sense to the newbie user. If Ubuntu wants to put some pretty graphical interface over e2fsck, great, but the suggested changes don't at all make sense for experienced system administrators who *do* care about this kind of detail, and taking away useful information is uncool. -- Confusing message for fsck check at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
