Well, you can force it to happen more frequently by changing the number of mounts between filesystem checks using tune2fs. The point is that given that this is almost certainly hardware- and kernel- specific problem, someone who is experiencing the problem is either going to need to help debug it, or someone is going to have to pay $$$ to a company who is willing to provide professional support for an ubuntu distribution, just like customers of RHEL or SLES pay Red Hat, Novell, or IBM for that kind of professional level support. Or, you will need to find some volunteer with time who is willing to provide professional- level support for free. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do that kind of in-depth support where I can't reproduce the problem on my local systems and a support personnel needs to work with the customer step by step to try to reproduce the problem and fix the problem.
PS, for each person who is saying, "I'm seeing the same problem" --- if the percentage complete is always freezing at the same level, and the version of e2fsprogs is older than 1.40, then it's a different problem. You need to upgrade to a newer version of e2fsprogs. If it is freezing at a seemingly random percentage which changes from boot to boot, then it's probably a kernel level problem. There are two bugs which users are conflating into the same bug report, just because it superficially has the same failure and they are just trying to find similar bug reports using google or some other search engine. -- fsck freezes on laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124773 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
