From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020724 Description of problem: lines 236-238 of /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit from initscripts-6.88-1 of Limbo2 contain the following lines: STRING=$"Checking root filesystem" echo $STRING initlog -c "fsck -T -a $fsckoptions /" I would suggest modifying the last line to: initlog -qc "fsck -T -a $fsckoptions /" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6-88-1 here is the explanation of the "-q" option for initlog: -q Do not print the program's output, unless it exits with a non-zero exit code. Additional info: So if there are any problems with the root partition the user is gonna see exactly the same behavior as before. When there are no errors on the root partition the user is gonna see: Checking root filesystem [ OK ] this is how the output looks like now: Checking root filesystem fsck: /: clean, 93849/1089152 files, 442599/2175382 blocks [ OK ] I thinks the first looks much better
one more thing, the log files in both cases will look identical so this is just a cosmetic enhancement
I'm fairly sure this will break in-progress reporting of the progress bar for actual checks.
