Hi,
Here is a suite of patches up to review to add fsckd integration to
plymouth. This work is mostly based on Lennart's suggestion on an email
thread few years ago
(http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2011-April/002063.html)
where the proposal was to add a systemd-fsckd daemon.
The daemon is socket-activated, each systemd-fsck instances binds and
communicate its own fsck data to it. systemd-fsckd then agglomerates the
results and write to /dev/console as well as propagate those values to
plymouth.
The protocole to communicate with the plymouth theme is described in the
man page. I've modified ubuntu plymouth theme (which is a .script) to
display the progress. There is as well a cancel option in case some
people run on a rotational disks, hit the mount limit and need to give a
talk right away (not my use case, but have seen that in practice
recently) :)
The plymouth integration is optional, otherwise, only /dev/console (if
show-status is enabled) is written.
I'm opened to any question and suggested enhancements.
Cheers,
Didier
