Description Marc 2004-12-27 11:52:22 UTC
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
