reiser4 needs some love with baselayout-2 / openrc

[Mat]

Hi Edward,

could you please have a look at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195988 
this "bug" has been plagueing gentoo-users (me included) already a pretty long
time, unfortunately the dev working on that topic is not retired and is not
likely to work on it any longer

hopefully you can work that one out

Many thanks in advance, as always your help is highly appreciated

Mat

would it be safe to assume -p ("preen") doing the same like -a ("auto") with
modified reiser4progs?

case 'p':
                        aal_set_bit(&data->options, FSCK_OPT_AUTO);
                        break;


then gentoo init / baselayout wouldn't halt at printing plugins & omitting
checkfs, thus all other following services/tasks

here's what I mean:

(it has lines longer 80 characters, so I have to use nopaste):

Does it help by the way?

It is safe, but it breaks semantic (some getting-started-with-xxx-plugin 
docs
will need to be edited)

Success ! :D

Yes it defnitely does

now I'm finally able to boot it with:
root=/dev/sda2 ro elevator=deadline vga=794 video=vesafb,ywrap,mtrr

whereas previously I needed
root=/dev/sda2 rw elevator=deadline vga=794 video=vesafb,ywrap,mtrr

(mark the rw !)

here is the updated & working patch:

I hope there's not much additional work fixing syntax for you ...

fyi: I'm using reiser4 with cryptcompress and lzo1 right now (but with default
file plugin it should be the same)
