Upon further inspection it seems that the primary error I'm experiencing is different from the described bug, although I also experience it (being unable to cancel fsck with C). I was able to recover my root partition by booting into a live CD (well, USB-stick) and running fsck from there, fixing the errors. I don't know why, but fsck was continuously failing while being run in Plymouth. Every time it found an error, it had some error (sorry I don't recall what) and restarted the disk check. Therefore, it would say "Checking disk (n-1/n)" and every time the check failed it would increment n (e.g. 1/2, 2/3, etc...). Should I file a separate bug for this under Plymouth, or does it concern a different project?
