Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.41.9-1
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/fsck.ext3
Hi,
I'm experimenting with running fsck for / from the initramfs to avoid
the extra reboot when the filesystem is changed. The initramfs has no
/etc/mtab (as that is obsolete anyway) but /proc/mounts. I think it
would be good for e2fsck to use /proc/mounts to check if a filesystem
is mounted preferably or as fallback when /etc/mtab does not exist.

Sorry, I can't remember what the exact issue was. Might have been
something broken in the ramdisk. Closing.
