Oh, and yes I HAVE installed e2fsprogs per the most recent SVN.
However, I'm using reiser, not ext2 or ext3.  As I understand it,
append-only fails if e2fsprogs isn't installed.  However, looking at
the man page for chattr (which as I understand it is the needed
utility), it's unclear to me as to whether or not it would work on a
reiser partition.  I suspect not.  And if that's so, then that's
likely why the test is failing.  Of course if that's the case, then
the coreutils test suite cannot fully succeed on a reiser partition -
which seems like a rather poor decision on their part to me.  Of
course, if that IS the case, and it's going to stay that way, a note
should probably be added to CLFS that mentions that the append-only
test will fail on reiser partitions.
