Description Jaak Ristioja 2009-10-29 17:34:40 UTC 
Currently the /etc/init.d/checkfs does not check file systems even when the "gentoo=forcefsck" boot parameter is given. Please add a boot parameter to make it check them.

I suggest that the "forcefsck" parameter be used for both the checkfs and checkroot init scripts, and a new "forcerootfsck" be added for the checkroot script only.

Against which version of baselayout is your patch?
Comment 3 Jaak Ristioja 2009-10-30 05:39:36 UTC 
The latest stable one on amd64, version 1.12.11.1. The patch was actually just meant to demonstrate the simplicity of such change in code.
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2009-10-30 07:18:46 UTC 
this is already in openrc:
_forcefsck()
{
    [ -e /forcefsck ] || get_bootparam forcefsck
}
Comment 5 Jaak Ristioja 2009-10-30 09:25:10 UTC
