Yes, something along the lines of: find /boot -type f -print0 | xargs -0 --no-run-if-empty touch If you like reiser'd boot, the notail thing is a minor issue. In fact, adding notail can make reiser faster as the expense of storage space (but you'd loose that storage space to any other filesystem anyway...) *I* run ext2/3 on boot because when I installed I didn't know 2 things (1) notail makes grub work or (2) you can tell reiser to use less than 33M for journal. Also, it can make some system recovery easier -- since ext2/3 is the most widely built-in filesystem, among linux kernels. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
