[Bug 1443735] Re: recordfail false positive causes headless servers to hang on boot by default

[Robie Basak]

Ewan,

Thank you for your comments.

I don't think anyone is working on this at the moment, or that there is
any plan to update stable releases with it. Please feel free to file a
separate bug to track it.

> Add the line:
GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=30
to the default /etc/default/grub file

We deliberately didn't do this is as will cause a prompt requiring user
intervention on update for any user who has modified /etc/default/grub -
both for the update during an existing stable release's lifetime and
during a release upgrade.

As far as I understand, the recordfail path should only get followed
after a boot failure. If you're also getting it at other times, then
please file a bug for that separate issue.
