Bug Description
Binary package hint: friendly-recovery
When running the fsck option from the recovery menu, and there are separate partitions for /home and /usr/local, fsck tries checking those partitions without first unmounting them. This results in a confirmation prompt warning about data destruction, which is not friendly. friendly-recovery takes efforts to prevent destroying the root partition, but should do a similar check to avoid destroying other partitions.

I confirm this, it's not very friendly.
Could it be a problem to continue with the check?
