Please can we have something on the graphics output such that when the disk reaches it's maximal mount count and goes off into a disk check - we get some notification ?
I noticed the same problem. It freaked me right out, I thought it had hung or something, until I switched VTs and saw what was happening.
There is a spot on the boot screen where you can click and get the good ol' text startup screen displayed. It's up to you which you prefer.
Me, I'm old school. I like to SEE what's happening. I was very ticked off when front panel LEDs went the way of the dodo. Yes, I'm an old PDP/VAX/S370/Altair/IMSAI guy.

Last night I was rummaging through some boxes to find a switch to fix something and came across an old 8008 (yes, that is typed right) computer made by DEC with front panel switches (in octal) to load it with and lots of lights. The power supply used to have the bypass transistor sitting in a bowl of water because I could not afford a heatsink and a fan to keep it cool enough. Brings back some memories...
Ahhh, but I digress, back to my Fedora machines that have a lowly power indicating LED.
Kind regards,
Mike
