Apparently, fsck wants to run fsck.vfat (which I do not have installed) when I ask it to check an ext3 filesystem (on a USB disk). Here is the evidence: :-) demokrit root # fsck -t ext3 /dev/sda1 fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) fsck: fsck.vfat: not found fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.vfat for /dev/sda1 demokrit root # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 163.9 GB, 163928605184 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19929 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 15752 126527908+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 * 15753 19929 33551752+ 6 FAT16 demokrit root # mount /mnt/usb_backup/ demokrit root # mount /dev/hda2 on / type jfs (rw,noatime) none on /dev type devfs (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) none on /sys type sysfs (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw) /dev/hda5 on /usr/portage type reiserfs (rw,noatime) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) none on /var/tmp/portage type tmpfs (rw,size=1000000000) none on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) automount(pid7767) on /fysik type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=7767,minproto=2,maxproto=4) /dev/sda1 on /mnt/usb_backup type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. fsck -t ext3 /dev/sda1 2. 3. Actual Results: It complains that fsck.vfat is not there.
