rc.sysinit calls /sbin/fsck, which comes from e2fsprogs. It has a compiled-in list of recognized filesystems, and ext4/ext4dev is not on the list. Anything not on the list is skipped. It would be better for /sbin/fsck to try to call "fsck.foo" when it encounters filesystem type "foo", rather than have a strict list (which can always get out of date). Newer Fedora releases have moved fsck to util-linux-ng, but it still has a hard-coded list of "wanted" filesystems. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
