[gentoo-user] problem with e2fsck and the pre mount of /usr

[gentoo-user] problem with e2fsck and the pre mount of /usr

[covici]

Hi.  I upgraded genkernel and openrc to see what would happen with the
initrd mounting /usr -- since I use an initrd anyway.

Well, it mounts OK, but when it comes time to do the e2fsck, that fails
because its mounted.  Is there a way to get the initrd to do an e2fsck
before it mounts /usr and then I can have it not do one in the
/etc/fstab -- or any other solution to this problem?
I am using gentoo unstable with 3.2.6-gentoo.


Any assistance would be appreciated.

Have your init mount it read-only and fsck should be happy, iirc

Hi!

I let Dracut mount /usr and I do not mount it again at boot. In order
to do so I have added the "noauto" option in /etc/fstab:

/dev/mapper/vg-usr		/usr		ext4		noauto,noatime	1 2

Use with caution.
