Yeah. I don't know if I really like all this parallel processing at
boot time you find in Ubuntu 10 server.
I understand the usefulness on a laptop, but for a server booting
thrice a year I'm not sold. Besides, when drive checking time comes,
you're waiting in the dark with no message at all for that last process
to end. 

Recently I restarted my main server twice thinking something went wrong
the 1st time. In fact, after waiting about 1 hour on the second
attempt... I got my login prompt as fsck completed checking a multi-TB
array.
I left the machine do silently its stuff the 2nd time because I went to
see the box and saw the drives in the array being accessed. Otherwise, I
would have had no clue of what was going on via the serial console.
