This patch was worked with upstream and even merged in systemd master. Howwever, after a month, Lennart decided to revert it because he strongly thinks that no feedback on fsck is needed because "everyone have fast SSD disks". (frustrating experience after working for a good 3 months getting upstream agreeing on the design and doing review first). Martin Pitt tried to push it again but there was no way to discuss apparently.
We decided that it wasn’t acceptable 5 years ago, especially for desktop and server users, to sit in front on a black screen for minutes in case of spinning disks because a fsck is happening without any feedback that things are progressing (with the risk of the user forcibly shutting down his machine, thinking the boot is stuck). Has anything changed in that regard? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880250 Title: Ctrl-C message displayed without any actual disk check Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in plymouth source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in systemd source package in Focal: Confirmed Status in plymouth source package in Groovy: Fix Released Status in systemd source package in Groovy: Confirmed Bug description: It seems the transition to bgrt lost something with Ubuntu's disk check details.
