Description:   Opened: 2005-02-21 11:06 0000
when /usr resides on a different partition, the /etc/init.d/checkfs-script
bails out, since it uses (g)awk (which depends on /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0).
since /usr at that point is not yet mounted, awk cannot be loaded and the
script drops into fsck. i think in 08/2004 xmlsupport was added to gawk via
expat (patch).

workaround: link gawk statically or copy libexpat.so.0 from the real /usr/lib
to the mountpoint (umount USERDEV /usr; mount USERDEV /mnt/tmp; mkdir /usr/lib/
-p; cp /mnt/tmp/lib/libexpat.* /usr/lib; etc.etc.) so that during bootup awk
uses the copy, later on uses the real thing



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.move /usr to different partition
2.adjust /etc/fstab 
3.reboot


Actual Results:  
dropped into fsck. was flabbergasted.

Expected Results:  
performed checkfs, mounted /usr and the rest and moved on
