Hi, emergeing reiserfsprogs installs fsck.reiserfs, but no mkfs.reiserfs. Please symlink mkreiserfs to mkfs.reiserfs. It seems to be very common to do this. All SuSE system for example have a mkfs.reiserfs. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
you are searching for /sbin/mkreiserfs mkfs.reiserfs is from pogsreiserfs. It can trash your fs and is package masked therefore -> Bug 51773
I know that there is a mkreiserfs, but mkfs.* seemed to be like a consequent naming scheme, and i just wondered why reiserfs wasn't there. Again: on SuSE- and Redhat-System, /sbin/mkfs.reiserfs in simply liked to /sbin/mkreiserfs.
Just to make clear what i mean: the ebuild should simply do ln -s mkreiserfs /sbin/mkfs.reiserfs
mkfs.reiserfs is a different binary provided by sys-fs/progsreiserfs. I don't think such a link would be a good idea, since other programs could rely on its existance and try to call it with options, which mkreiserfs doesn't accept. The symlink can't be made, until it would be decided to drop sys-fs/progsreiserfs entirely.
i agree, but it seems that fsck.reiserfs is also supplied by both packages. I think progsreiserfs should be dropped. The lastest version seems to be from January 10th 2003, so it's older than 1.5 years now.
added to reiserfsprogs, no version bump
