Lucid Boot Recovery
Previous releases have provided a "friendly recovery" menu when booting into single-user mode, which provided options for checking filesystems and getting a root shell, intended to allow system recovery. With the changes to event-based mounting, and system daemon starting, it's often not possible to use this. This specification covers replacing this with more useful handling of filesystem check failure.
