Full Discussion: where to find the message "Your disk drives are being checked for errors"
Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu where to find the message "Your disk drives are being checked for errors" Post 302472563 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 17th of November 2010 12:26:14 PM

This is probably nothing to worry about. The boot process will look at the filesystems to mount and check the status flag on each. If they are all marked as clean (i.e. unmounted correctly at shutdown) then the thing will whizz through. If there is a problem, it will either stop and prompt at the console or possibly try to fix simple problems, but you will at least see more output from this and it will take a little while usually.

It depends what flavour of OS you have as to what it does. Some versions stop and prompt for the root password so you can get into Single User and you manually fix things there.

On the whole, if it runs, it runs. Don't worry, it is a normal checking function.
