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
