Not on my system. ;-) I run vesafb @ 1280x1024, so I have a 160-column display, so this isn't an issue. Also, if you have more than one FS being checked, it's not a problem for any except the last. *Also*, if your filesystem's size is a different order of magnitude, then you'll see either more or less of the "check in X days/mounts" message. That being said, I don't know whether "just use *fb" is a good solution either. I doubt it. If it were possible to read whatever's on the display, then perhaps echo_ok (and friends) could check that the positions they're going to write to are empty before writing, and skipping the $CURS_UP if they're not empty. But I'm not sure whether that's even possible, let alone a good idea. (It could also break the "parallel bootscripts" that someone was working on a while ago.)
