Bug 177514 – dosfsutils does not support -p, required for baselayout-2

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Eduard Bachmakov 2007-05-07 16:13:34 UTC]

The /etc/init.d/checkfs script starts fsck with "-p" parameter which does not exist in case of fsck.vfat. With checkfs failing all other init scripts do not start.
This only happens if you have a vfat partition _and_ a fs_passno >0 (last column in /etc/fstab)

Map -p to -a

Does not work for me although the patch is correctly applied:
$ fsck.vfat -p /dev/sda4
fsck.vfat: invalid option -- p
usage: fsck.vfat [-aAflrtvVwy] [-d path -d ...] [-u path -u ...]
               device
  -a       automatically repair the file system
  -A       toggle Atari file system format
  -d path  drop that file
  -f       salvage unused chains to files
  -l       list path names
  -n       no-op, check non-interactively without changing
  -p       same as -a, for compat with other *fsck
  -r       interactively repair the file system
  -t       test for bad clusters
  -u path  try to undelete that (non-directory) file
  -v       verbose mode
  -V       perform a verification pass
  -w       write changes to disk immediately
  -y       same as -a, for compat with other *fsck
