Description Karl Eichwalder 2011-12-12 13:53:07 UTC
systemd-fsck while checking ext4 partitions lacks a progress meter.
Comment 1 Frederic Crozat 2011-12-12 14:29:57 UTC
please report this upstream.
Comment 2 Karl Eichwalder 2011-12-12 16:59:54 UTC
I'm not that familiar with systemd's upstream ecosystem (but maybe, I can try).

FTR, using sysv you can see the fsck progress meter.
Comment 3 Frederic Crozat 2011-12-12 17:42:07 UTC
after checking the code, it appears systemd supports showing fsck progress, but I'm not certain if it is supposed to work when plymouth is not enabled.

I'll double check
Comment 4 Frederic Crozat 2011-12-13 13:19:44 UTC
could you paste /proc/cmdline ?

I think fsck output is hidden when quiet is present on commandline (but not if plymouth is running).

We might need to unhide it when bootsplash is running.
Comment 5 Karl Eichwalder 2011-12-14 08:31:13 UTC
Good catch!

cat /proc/cmdline 
root=/dev/sda2 resume=/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160815AS_9RA4R5V1-part3 splash=silent quiet vga=791
Comment 6 Frederic Crozat 2012-01-27 10:30:20 UTC
I've just pushed a fix to home:fcrozat:systemd / systemd which ensure systemd will more verbose at startup / shutdown (including fsck progress), when running behind bootsplash, so you get more information when pressing escape, even when "quiet" is specified. This way, the behaviour is identical than when using plymouth under Fedora.

I'll close this bug when fix is pushed as part of 12.1 maintenance update.
