> possible duplicate of 554079 ? This bug is similar to (at least) 554079, 554737 and 557161. However, there are differences in each case: In bug #554079, it appears that plymouth is stalling during fsck, which results in GDM not loading. 554079 also makes no mention of the "mountall: Plymouth

Perhaps this doesn't need to be here, but for completeness, I figured I should include one final update, the /dev/sd* designations of my hard drives began to be assigned inconsistently from one boot to the next, causing similar but not identical mount errors. This was solved by converting my /etc/

Just a quick update - There was corruption on one of the hard drives, which was fixed by running a fsck from an old 8.10 server boot disk. It turned out that it wasn't getting stuck at 90%, but rather that it was restarting repeatedly at 90% after a long pause. At any rate, that part is no longer

Hi Matthew, Thanks for the helpful comments - those are great explanations for what I'm seeing. Just to reply to a couple points: > Normal, no fsck: 35 seconds > File /forcefsck exists: 8 minutes This morning, I left it for over an hour once it hit 90%, and no change was visible. > The presence

A time-out issue may be causing this. My disk has a mixture of ext3 and ext4 partitions, with one of the ext3 partitions at 91% capacity. This causes fsck to take a long time. Below is the relevant portion of '$ df -h'. I'm also attaching a copy of my '/etc/fstab', in case this helps in resolvi

I'm seeing a variation on this, with significant similarities - I'll try the method above. In my case, Plymouth comes up, and tells me that it will check all the disks, but then halts at 90% or 8% (depending on whether it checks one or both of the disks). It provides the option of pressing C to c
