** Summary changed:
- fsck on /home needs graphical feedback
+ Always wait for all filesystems
** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Triaged
** Changed in: mountall (Ubuntu)
Importance: Medium => Critical
** Description changed:
- In Karmic;
+ In previous releases to Karmic, we always waited for all filesystems
+ listed in /etc/fstab to be mounted before continuing the boot. In
+ Karmic we tried something new, we only waited for "FHS" filesystems to
+ be mounted, assuming that others wouldn't be needed during the boot.
- If the system is set up to use a separate partition for /home, fsck will
- sometimes need more time to check the file system than upstart to boot
- the system. If a users tries to log in, (s)he is confronted with lot of
- strange error messages. The user's home directory will seem empty, the
- configration will seem lost.
+ I think that in theory this was a great idea, but in practice it was a
+ terrible one.
- Proposed solution: display a progress notification or switch to a file
- system with online file system check.
+ So we'll revert to waiting for everything for lucid, this will solve all
+ the "fsck and passphrase under X" type issues, as well as the "my system
+ doesn't boot".
+
+ This is unlikely to be backported to Karmic.
