[Bug 1430312] Re: recovery mode fsck stalling

[Galen Thurber]

update.
I attempted an update from 12.04.5 to 14.04.2 but the upgrade was corrupted.
Then I did a clean install with Linux Lite2.4
kernels
3.13.0-49-generic
3.13.0-24-generic
and that similar distro had the same stalling.
I did many rechecks of RAM, gsmartdrive full disk check. No errors.
Then I disconnected my USB hub (located in my floppy bay)
and
commented out my swap entry in /etc/fstab
and reformatted the swap partition to ext3

My fstab was using ubuntu created UUID entries and all entries were
working.

I did more recovery mode fsck checks,  they did not stall.
I reconnected my USB hub to differing USB jacks on the motherboard,
all recovery fsck checks worked.

I think it is fair to assume that recovery mode fsck was stalling when checking the swap partition.
do you think this correct?
should recovery mode be checking the swap partition at all?
