On every boot, after BIOS post, disk checking text is shown before boot logo.
Aesthetically, it would be better not to be visible by default, in case operation
goes with no problems and no disk issues are found. It just not fit in a nice booting
graphical sequence of KDE Plasma.
If Manjaro team disagree, is there a way for me to silence (quiet) this message
on boot for myself, and how do I do it?
(I don’t want to skip disk check, just silence this message, as I don’t see a reason
it should be shown if everything is OK, just in case of errors)
Cheers
Plymouth is a little tricky to set up ─ you have to modify /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and rebuild your initramfs, and you have to disable your normal display manager service and enable the Plymouth-specific one ─ the Arch Wiki holds the instructions ─ but you don’t need Plymouth for a quiet boot. Simply adding the word quiet to the kernel options in /etc/default/grub and running update-grub will suffice.
is my options now. So there is already quiet argument passed, and message still appears
Those arguments are default after Manjaro install, I have not altered anything there. Somehow
checking disk bypasses (ignores) this quiet argument and keeps informing me that /dev/sda1 is clean…

What script exactly calls this disk checking on boot, anyway? Maybe I could edit that script and pass some arguments to fsck not to be verbose if possible…
Updated grub is now like this, but does not solve…
