Reiserfsprogs-3.6.21 was released a few days ago. This version provides vital enhancements, like animated spinner during fsck (woohoo!). More information: https://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/reiserfs-devel/2009/1/9/4678304/thread http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/reiserfs/README Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 178736 [details] Proposed ebuild This file is based on current reiserfsprogs-3.6.19-r2.ebuild and probably keywords need to be tweaked a bit. Tested on amd64 system, compiles fine, rebooted twice without problems. Portage complains about pre-stripped files: * QA Notice: Pre-stripped files found: * /sbin/reiserfstune * /sbin/reiserfsck * /sbin/debugreiserfs * /sbin/resize_reiserfs * /sbin/mkreiserfs Should this be filed as a separate bug?
I didn't see those QA messages with a renamed reiserfsprogs-3.6.20-r1 ebuild on my ~amd64 box. Spanky's patch from bug #154294 still applies so I guess the big endian problem still isn't fixed yet. Reassigning to base-system herd.
Ebuild for 3.6.20-r1 misses these two lines for symlink creation: dosym reiserfsck /sbin/fsck.reiserfs dosym mkreiserfs /sbin/mkfs.reiserfs Ommiting them causes problems during boot, because init script expects mkfs.reiserfs, not reiserfsck.
Noticed somewhat late: s/mkfs/fsck/
