Title:
  Checking drive for errors has insufficient feedback

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In 10.04, I see:

  Ubuntu 10.04
  . . . .

  Your disk drives are being checked for errors, this may take some time

  Press C to cancel checks currently in progress

  ISSUES

  1. Sentences should be punctuated.
  2. "this may take some time" can be simplified to "please wait..."
  3. There is no % complete.

  There really should be a % complete, even if it is inaccurate, at
  least I have a way of knowing (roughly) when to come back to the
  machine. As it is, if it takes more than 5 or 10 minutes, I'm going to
  press C because I don't know what it's doing.
