Comment 2 for bug 1242758

In 13.10, the output from mountall has been redirected to /var/log/upstart/mountall.log, which will only be written once the root filesystem has been mounted read-write. So you're right that you won't get feedback on the console about what's going on with the fsck.

But why are you looking for these details, specifically? The splash screen should show you that the filesystem is being checked, and show you a progress counter (% done). Is this part not working?
