Bug Description
Binary package hint: upstart
During normal boot, you can have the boot process stopped because of fsck finding an inconsitency during periodic file system checks.
I think it's a serious bug, because the normal user gets an english message - many, many people in the world don't understand english - the announces something ununderstandable for the non technical user.
I myself, althoug I am a quite technical person and I know quite english, have difficulties to interpret the message appearing.
The normal "joe" ubuntu user gets a situation which he absolutely cannot understand nor manage, and the only solution is to look for help from some ubunty guy.
I think the boot process, or fsck, should be put in condition of managing these situation.
If this doesn't happen, ubuntu seeks absolutely not newby- nor user-friendly
