That is part of the fsck…hook? during startup and shutdown. It’s no reason for concern if it says ...clean..., it just means the filesystem is…well…is clean.
It can be disabled, but it’s not recommended as then your fsck won’t run. It’s not JUST the message you’ll have to disable, it’s the whole fsck hook.
As for being stuck during shutdown, it’s not really. It just takes a (relatively short) while to complete the check and go on. Yeah, it got to me at first as well.
So it will certainly display when fsck enabled? Is there a way to use fsck without displaying this? I remember this sentence did not happen last year, on Manjaro 20.
I don’t know if there is a way, but I, for one, am glad I can catch a warning of a drive problem as quick as possible.
It also wasn’t there at first for me, but it became visible after I put the fsck hook into /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, so perhaps you also did it, or perhaps it became standard for Manjaro.
Just edited etc/default/grub and added loglevel=3 to the end of the `` line and executed sudo update-grub. Rebooted. And now the message is gone on both shutdown and reboot’s much faster. All while startup seems unaffected. And I did it again, to make sure it wasn’t a fluke, and it stuck!
Nice but apparently it would hide some messages then (see the log level link in my post). I still didn’t have a chance to try on the friend laptop yet but I’ll apply it then next time I will have a chance.
//EDIT: I think log level by default in Manjaro is 4 for info
@omano, I see yes. Don’t know how I feel 'bout that. There could, potentially, be useful info hidden now…and I like to keep an eye on my system and know what’s going on…
