I accidentally ran shutdown -f, and almost got locked out of my laptop. I had to hard-boot 6 times before fsck would complete; the other times it would freeze at varying percentages between 30% and 70%. I gave it 10 minutes to wake up on some of the freezes, and it didn't do anything.
Since this is such a serious bug (potentially locking users out of their machines) I think you should allow the fsck step to be skipped, perhaps with a grub-like timeout. The only guaranteed way to bring back a system that has this problem is boot with a live cd and edit fstab to remove the fscheck from boot - this is not an option for many users. -- fsck freezes on laptop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124773 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
