Comment 5 for bug 446596

  Just ran forced check of /dev/sda1 without usplash on the boot, not a peep on the console from mountall or fsck. If an inexperienced end user hits a forced check on a big drive, maybe a 1TB drive, they will surely conclude the machine has hung up-and will again on subsequent boots. This will be a problem both with and without usplash, as the console doesn't seem to work between the start of init after / is mounted read-only and the remounting of / rw .

For end users straight from the world of Windoze, with big disks, this means real trouble...
