Hi, older version of openrc (or more likly util-linux) had enabled progress bar by default, on big partitions where fsck take minutes to done progress bar would be good idea. there is a switch -C to enable progress bar, could you consider to adding this feature (back)? Reproducible: Always
The progress bar is still used. <snip> -C [ fd ] Display completion/progress bars for those filesystem checkers (currently only for ext2 and ext3) which support them. Fsck will manage the filesystem checkers so that only one of them will display a progress bar at a time. GUI front-ends may spec‐ ify a file descriptor fd, in which case the progress bar infor‐ mation will be sent to that file descriptor. </snip> So, we're passing -C0. Also note that it seems that only ext2 and ext3 are supported. Otherwise you can also modifying the fsck args by editing /etc/conf.d/fsck. To me it looks like we can mark this bug as INVALID.
I use ext4 and after last openrc update from sys-apps/openrc-0.8.3 there is no progress bar.
maybe you're using rc_parallel=yes ? i recall that implicitly disables the progress bar (by current design) ...
I am marking this invalid because the reporter is using ext4, and he has not responded to tell us whether he is using rc_parallel, which disables the progress bar.
I miss the mail with Vapier comment. No I am not using rc_parallel=yes.
The code in /etc/init.d/fsck has not changed since at least openrc-0.8.0. Also, I checked the fsck man page, and it states that the progress bar only works for ext2 and ext3 filesystems.
i've just checked, and the progress bar does work fine for ext3 and 0.9.3-r1
I just checked it in virtualmachine and it is all right there. Propably something is wrong with the my system and I am unable to find it, thanks for test it anyway.
