2009-12-07 17:11:31 Scott James Remnant (Canonical) description In Karmic; 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. Proposed solution: display a progress notification or switch to a file system with online file system check. 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. I think that in theory this was a great idea, but in practice it was a terrible one. 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.
