Well I suppose it worked fine until sysvinit 2.93-3 two months ago when this was restricted to ext*, so maybe people just haven't run into this and complained yet. I don't know how popular reiserfs is now, but there are certainly systems still using it. My point is also that the assumption that forcefsck was a proprietary feature of e2fsck, was wrong, and maybe there are yet others. -- Pierre Ynard
