Comment 5 for bug 209416

I agree that we should really fix this for Hardy. I'm currently not sure where the problem is (in upstart, or the usplash integration, etc.).

Incidentally, is it possible to safely fake this situation in order to test this? Well, I guess temporarily replacing e2fsck with an "exit 4" shell script should do. :-)

FWIW, I think it would be a bad idea to use something like a "reckless" fsck repair mode by default. Forcefully mounting and booting a broken fs might do more damage than the boot is worth, and it invites users to ignore the error.
