Still confused :-(

/sbin/mountall is a binary; so are you saying that I need to find the
source for mountall, figure out how to change it so that is calls fsck
differently, build it, then replace the official version?

I hope that's not what you're saying. It seems crazy to have to do all that
just to get progress information on the fsck.

But perhaps that's why when I googled I found a lot of complaints about the
loss of the progress information, but no one seemed to provide a way to get
it back.
