Versions prior to this have problems when broken_system_clock is set in /etc/e2fsck.conf. Have tried sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.12 in local report and can confirm it's working fine on ppc. Can you add the new version to portage, please? Reproducible: Always Actual Results: System does not boot with messed up system clock when sys-fs/e2fsprogs < 1.41.12 is used. Expected Results: System boots fine, even if system clock is back in 1970. :) The required libs are also working fine. plex e2fsprogs # equery l e2fs [ Searching for package 'e2fs' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.12 (0) [I--] [ ] sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.12 (0)
