My only complaint against systemd-fsck at the moment is (poor?)
integration with graphical plymouth themes. I'd like to see:
"Checking disk 2/3... 78% done"
or some such.
Which one can see on desktops & servers with upstart/mountall/plymouth
matched combo.
Any idea if something like that is in the works? Or is working, but
just not setup/configured correctly yet?
systemd-fsck output on server / textual boot is fine, but on the
desktop i'd like to see something prettier.
I guess i can patch systemd-fsck to send user-friendly message updates
to plymouth, but i thought it would be available out of the box.
