Still no progress bar in Precise. This really is bad, particularly on server because we get stuck with very long fscks on large disks and the progress bar is critical during unexpected downtimes. We need to be able to provide at least rough ETA's for our bosses/customers, and have assurance the system isn't hung.
I took a look at mountall.c and the following change restored the bar: 2247c2247 < arg = NIH_MUST (nih_sprintf (NULL, "-C%d", fds[1])); --- > arg = NIH_MUST (nih_sprintf (NULL, "-C", fds[1])); ...although I can see how this would obviously not work in the distribution, is there something we can do to restore the progress bar? Looking through the code, it shouldn't be hard to implament (e.g. a setting in /etc/default/rcS). ** Patch added: "mountall.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/765735/+attachment/2651043/+files/mountall.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/765735 Title: mountall should cause fsck to show progress on text console To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/765735/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
