(Get the code!)
Ok, I just confirmed once again that it is not just missing progress information.
I left it running for over two hours once a check was being done. Nothing happened no disk activity no blinking hd lights. It's just dead with a blinking cursor sitting at fsck for sda5 ..... When I reset it reports clean but I get an entry with "INVALID HEADER" twice...
As Ernst's last comment describes the exact same issue I am experiencing I tend to assume it has nothing to do with "not enough feedback by the application".
I am not saying fsck is hanging (I don't know that), I am saying the system is hanging when a check is being done at boot and it doesn't look like a check is being done at all (as a fsck on my machine takes a while and there has always been noticeable disk activity during that process).
