fsck

structures. It should say "oh not one of mine, skipping". Instead it
returns an error claiming massive corruption, and halts the system. I
just upgraded my wifes computer from Suse to RedHat FC4 and when it hits
the reiser partitions, the whole system explodes due to fsck.ext3
misrecognizing reiser partitions.
Since when does fsck run fsck.ext3 on filesystems that are not marked
as ext3 in /etc/fstab?
I had to modify rc.sysinit and blank
the partitions with fdisk to get it to install. After it installed, I
recreated the partitions (after writing down what they were in the first
place for block #'s etc.) and disabled rc.sysinit checks. This is
busted. Hans needs to fix fsck.ext3 and submit a patch or redhat does.
Sorry, but I doubt that Hans or anybody in RH knows how to patch

Is this the new "official" non-official slang word for Suse Linux?
