I installed 9.10 and when it rebooted it showed a splash screen: the white ubuntu logo. After that the screen went black and the diskactivity light lighted up. After a couple of minutes it was still doing that. So I pulled the plug on my laptop and fired it up again. I removed the splash and quiet option from grub and booted. I then saw fsck was running.
For me it was a little weird that I didn't receive a message of that so I knew I just had to be more patient. -- boot process isn't paused while fsck runs on partition: boot process is completed with fsck running in the background preventing partition from mounting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/439604 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
