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.
