The /etc/init.d/checkfs does not work as expected. If I have the noauto flag in fstab for the /boot partition, it drops me to a shell. It shouldn't do that. The comment in the checkfs file says the same.: # First scan the /etc/fstab for the "noauto"-flag # for this device. If found, skip the initialization # for it to avoid dropping to a shell on errors. # If not, try raidstart...if that fails then # fall back to raidadd, raidrun. If that # also fails, then we drop to a shell This happens on an alpha box but will do the same on other archs since the file is the same. My raid initialization is set up with /etc/raidtab. The comment says that a device with the noauto flag should not be initialized. I think the raids should always be initialized but not mounted. Thanks!
i just checked with baselayout-1.11.9-r1 and it works for me if i put noauto into /etc/fstab please post your fstab file and `emerge info` like the bug report page told you to also, post some output of the error you're seeing
