So it hasn't been removed from e2fsck or fsck. For example, if you have /dev/sda6 unmounted, you could run this command: fsck -pC0 /dev/sda6 -- -f (the "-- -f" passes the -f command to e2fsck, which forces a file system check, whether one is needed or not) .. and you will see a tty-based progress bar. As for what Ubuntu has done with their init scripts, that's a distro-specific thing. Quite frankly, although I happen to be an Ubuntu user, the fact that Upstart is a Ubuntu-specific hack, which no other distro will take and for which many developers have chosen not to contribute to because of their mandatory copyright licensing scheme, _and_ the fact that it seems really, really, Gross, has almost been enough to cause me to switch distro's.... So I'm afraid I can't help you, as I've not spent a lot of time disentangling the horrid mess which is the Ubunut init scripts, sorry. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux-ng" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
