Comment 1 for bug 255562

I second that. I have had problems with that ever since I decided to try Intrepid. At first I thought my drive was failing, but when I checked the process list I noticed that fsck running. Waited for it to finish and rebooted. For me this happens quite often (every week almost) since I run a laptop and start and stop it several times a day. A progress indicator at KDM screen for me would be more helpful and graying out the login option if the necessary home partition for that user is busy makes more sense as well as a more useful message.
