OK - I've updated the title and subscribed Dustin Kirkland (who looks
after ecryptfs). I guess the status should be triaged, but I don't seem
to have permission to change that.

I'm also bewildered as to why you are being asked for a password for
/dev/sda5 - have you tried just closing that window with the window
close button (ie NOT the cancel button)? Have you tried a blank
password? (/me grasping at straws now).

** Summary changed:

- boot hangs during forced fsck
+ ecryptfs mount does not support -f (fake mount)

Bug description:
Binary package hint: e2fsprogs

When a check is forced the fsck process seems to hang. This was what was displayed on screen:

fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16
/dev/sda5 has been mounted 34 times without being checked, check forced
/dev/sda5: 176................. files (2.3% non-contiguous, 48128710/59556......

I left it running four about half an hour but nothing changed and there was no disk activity the entire time. After a hard reset both sda5 and md0 cleanly mounted.
This leds me to believe that the boot process will hang on every fsck (as this happened twice allready, and it hasn't gone successfully yet) and that an actual check of the filesystem therefore never happens...

Note that sda5 is a normal ext3 filesystem. I also have /dev/md0, but this wasn't checked when it hanged.
