I wonder if even kernel hackers know enough to not follow fscks suggestions... seriously... > so i suggest that instead of dumping the user to a shell, something like that is displayed: > "Serious filesystem corruption detected; Press <Enter> for automatic > recovery, <F12> for > manual recovery (expert mode)" Why not just run "automatic recovery". I don't really see mere mortals doing anything else. It might be interesting for filesystem developers doing some sort of debugging. But if you're a filesystem developer, you can set up your system to not run fsck automatically anyhow. If a question is to be put on the screen, I suggest making it timeout after a couple of seconds. But I really don't see the point in asking at all. -- user must run fsck by hand on FS corruption detected at boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86583 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
