File '/etc/rc.d/init.d/checkfs' (3755 bytes).
On boot, at the point where 'checkfs' invokes fsck, fsck issues its normal
message when close to a "real" check, for example
/dev/hdb4: clean, 133769/960992 files, 921779/1919767 blocks (check in 3 mounts)
and the screen display will look something like this (excerpt):
Mounting root file system in read-only mode... [ OK ]
Checking file systems...
/dev/hdb4: clean, 133764/960992 files, 921705/1919767 blocks (check in [ OK ])
Remounting root file system in read-write mode... [ OK ]
As can be seen, the warning "check in 3 mounts" is overwritten and its meaning
is fully lost.
I'm submitting the following "quick" fix for your critique (excerpt from
modified 'checkfs'):
boot_mesg "Checking file systems..."
# Note: -a option used to be -p; but this fails e.g.
# on fsck.minix
fsck ${options} -a -A -C -T 2>/dev/null
error_value=${?}
if [ "${error_value}" = 0 ]; then
CURS_UP="" # Momentarily
echo_ok
CURS_UP="\\033[1A\\033[0G" # Reset symbol
fi
NOTES:
1. The modification consists in "surrounding" 'echo_ok' with the two "CURS_UP"
lines.
2. The overall effect is far from perfect. For the majority of instances where
we're not close to a check and thus fsck message is shorter, the "OK" stands
out annoyingly (and unjustifiably) on its separate line.
Thanks,
