** Description changed: PROBLEM When a disk check is performed, the progress stalls somewhere around 70% and will then take a very long time finishing the remaining percent (10 minutes or more). POSSIBLE WORKAOUNDS 1. Simply waiting several minutes for mountall to realize that the disk check is complete. You should not see this problem on subsequent boots, until the next disk check is necessary. 2. Removing "quiet" and "splash" from the kernel boot line + + 3. When the progress has stalled, switch away from the splash screen using either the left arrowkey (presumably any arrowkey works). + This could speed up the boot process to ~1 minute instead of ~10+. ORIGINAL REPORT Binary package hint: mountall On my system when fsck runs at boot plymouth % completion count goes up quickly (<10 seconds) up to about 80% and then slows down considerably: the complete fsck of my 125GB HD, 30% full takes more than 5 minutes. While this goes on the text VTs are all completely blank: just a blinking cursor. An fsck from a recovery disk completes in ~10 seconds so it doesn't look like "fsck just being slow". This slowdown was *not* happening on 2010-04-14 with the PPA described by this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/554737/comments/25 The fix in the PPA is now in the mainline lucid but somewhere in between then and today (2010-04-29) something introduced this slowdown.
