Re: [gentoo-user] fsck check of /usr on a separate partition fails during boot

Thanks everyone, I've nailed it \o/ A more detailed story follows. After taking the approach of offloading / and /usr checks to Dracut I've disabled fsck for those partitions in /etc/fstab so OpenRC fsck wouldn't attempt to check /usr (and fail) by setting passno (the last column to 0). It

Re: [gentoo-user] fsck check of /usr on a separate partition fails during boot

Shouldn't that be taken care of by the "/etc/fstab" entries? Obviously, if "/usr" is on a separate partition, it needs to be mounted at the time when "/usr/sbin/fsck" is expected to be present. On Sat, Jan 13, 2018 at 2:54 PM, Neil Bothwick wrote: > On Sat, 13 Jan 2018

Alan, Floyd, Thanks for your responses. Indeed I prefer to not maintain my own initramfs scripts. Right now I use genkernel initramfs but it seems to not be doing the right thing regarding /usr partition mounting (as I understand now it's not a problem with OpenRC fsck service). On the other hand

[gentoo-user] fsck check of /usr on a separate partition fails during boot

Hi folks, I've posted about this problem to the forums[1] without luck despite getting more than a thousand views so I thought I'll try here. My system boots successfully but filesystem check fails for /usr which is on a separate partition: * Checking local filesystems ...
