[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#398269: initscripts: USB messages interleave fsck's

[Dan Jacobson]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-30
Severity: wishlist

These days I see upon boot:
...has been mounted xx times, check forced.
Then comes the messages from my USB flash cards being mounted.
Then comes the ========== xx% dancing cursor progress stuff.

The interleaving happens so quick that all one sees is the latter two.
It would be best if the first and third should not appear separate.
