To clarify, by "frozen", I mean that the percentage progress bar freezes at an arbitrary number (63.5%, 70%,...), that the machine does nothing for 25 minutes, and that there is no disk activity. Is it possible there is still work going on under the surface?
Here is fsck on my disks: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo e2fsck -n /dev/sda1 Password: e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006) Warning! /dev/sda1 is mounted.
