Title:
  mountall should cause fsck to show progress on text console

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mountall

  mountall should cause fsck to show progress information (-C 0).

  Especially on large FS that take very long to fsck (sometimes many hours) it is very important 
  to know that the fsck isn't actually hanging and still working.
  It is not possible to log in via console or ssh to check the status even for filesystems that are not boot- essential.

  Plymouth splash screen is disabled as this machine is a server.

  This behaviour has caused trouble several times already as the system
  was believed to be hanging and unresponsive and got rebooted while the
  fsck was still running.
