Also, as Carlos F. Lange suggested: Instead of just telling the user "you are out of luck today - this time the boot process will take a long while", you could ask "it is time to check your file system; this process may take a while; do you want to do it now?"

It takes far longer than necessary and consumes huge amounts of memory - I've had it run out of memory while fsck ran on a TB filesystem I'm told that this is being worked on for ext4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4#Faster_file_system_checking), but in the mean time, it would be good if the default file system for larger partitions was something else.

There was no resolution, I'm afraid. It's assigned to the NLD team. No progress yet (I think). There's also some FATE entry about replacing bootsplash with splashy, but I don't see much progress there either. (Maybe splashy already has support for things like fsck messages). (IMHO ext3 periodic checks are evil, but that's another story) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
