Description Charles E. Hill 2003-02-06 19:31:03 UTC
I just installed Gentoo 1.4_rc2 from the stage 3 tarball on ibiblio.org and
there is a problem.

I am using ext2 for /boot and reiserfs for everything else.

When the system boot, fsck attempts to do a check and it fails on the reiserfs
partitions.

It claims it can't find fsck.reisefs.  Notice the missing "r" in fsck.reiseRfs.
 A quick hack is to ln -s /sbin/fsck.reiserfs /sbin/fsck.reisefs and all works well.

A quick search/replace on the source should fix what looks to be a typo.

I listed this as "major" because it scrolls by real quick and unless you're
watching close at boot, you'll never see it.

I just grepped the sources for e2fsprogs-1.32 and there is no such mention of reisefsck... what version do you have?

actually i'd bet money that the error is a typo in your /etc/fstab script, this comes up 
from time to time ...
