Bug 394323 – sys-fs/e4rat: post a link to upstream documentation for configuring e4rat

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pacho Ramos 2011-12-11 12:33:33 UTC]

I think would be nice to show a postinst message pointing people to:
http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

For using e4rat properly

Thanks a lot

Reproducible: Always

I have just seen upstream docs expect to find executables in /sbin while we have them installed in /usr/sbin (even if I see no special location specified in our ebuild :-/)

That is also inconsistent with defaults in /etc/e4rat.conf:

; path to init process binary (DEFAULT: /sbin/init)
; init /sbin/init

And I have also seen that, while e4rat-collect collects also files from /home, e4rat-realloc refuses to reallocate some files because "they are inaccessible" (I think that it's caused by me needing to switch to "init 1" and my /home partition being unmounted. Not sure if it's "normal" (it probably is as I don't know how e4rat-preload could even preload files in /home at so early stages during boot :/)

Fixed. Files moved to /sbin as well
