[Bug 1946192] Re: "Press Ctrl+C to cancel all filesystem checks in process" on every boot

[Oleg Moiseichuk]

One more reasoning: fsck is called DESPITE the settings of tune2fs. By default "Maximum mount counts" equals -1 which means that fsck shouldn't run at all. If this parameter is set to some positive value fcsk should run periodically but not on every start.
Less experienced users may think that they've got real problems with their disk because of these checks on every boot.

Title:
  "Press Ctrl+C to cancel all filesystem checks in process" on every
  boot

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed Kubuntu 20.04 on Latitude 5591 laptop using flash drive.
  Installation run without any issues but now on every boot I notice a
  message "Press Ctrl+C to cancel all filesystem checks in process" on
  the Plymouth screen with Kubuntu logo. It flashes quickly and
  disappears. I've got fast NVMe drive so I cannot say for sure whether
  it runs any checks or not.

  I booted from LiveCD and performed fsck checks of all my partitions:
  fsck.vfat /dev/nvme0n1p1 (EFI partition)
  fsck.vfat /dev/nvme0n1p2 (Dell service partition, not mounted)
  e2fsck -f /dev/nvme0n1p3 (Root partition)
  e2fsck -f /dev/nvme0n1p5 (Home partition)
  These checks showed no problems.

  I changed mount counter to set periodic checks:
  sudo tune2fs -c 29 /dev/nvme0n1p3
  sudo tune2fs -c 30 /dev/nvme0n1p5
  But despite these settings this message still appears on every boot.
