Description of problem: Please re-enable the progress meter for force fsck. With the current set-up, novice users might be tempted to just reboot the system thinking the boot-up sequenced has hanged. In my case, auto fsck took well over 5mins to complete. (i think rhgb should also fall back to the detail view when auto-fsck runs). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):initscripts-8.55-1 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
What does your /etc/sysconfig/init look like?

With that configuration, you should already be seeing the progress bar.
Unfortunately, I'm not seeing the progress bar (coincidentally, I have to endure another forced fsck booting up this session, today, with no progress bar).
If you run 'fsck -C <add other options as necessary>' by hand, do you see it? (For the relevant code, see rc.sysinit line 488)

This has moved to systemd; initscripts will no longer change in this area.
