well, i don't know exactly the fsck versions used - i don't know if Ubuntu versions can help until Ubuntu 9.10, a filesystem check progressbar always appears from fsck - this disapeared on Ubuntu 10.04, and i were using alpha versions of Ubuntu since then (i'm on 10.10 alpha3 updated now) the actual version i'm using now is 2.17.2 a question: is this filesystem check progressbar an option (a config file from /etc/ directory, or anything alike? where is it, if exists?), or is it really a serious bug lacking it on appearing? my concern is, since this progressbar were removed, i have no visual feedback of what is going on, making me forcing the shutdown, and taking a serious risk on damaging the hard disk from StartupManager, i have disabled that Usplash or Plymouth splash picture (on Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 are those very annoying flashing dots..) - so, this progressbar is really needed thanks, p -- Don't give Microsoft the remote control.
