reiserfs question

Probably, reiserfsck awaits for confirmation from you. It is not supposed
to be started by bootup scripts. Although, if your bootup scripts used
fsck -a, reiserfsck would not wait for confirmation. (At least it is
supposed to be so).


You might want to:
ln /sbin/reiserfsck /sbin/fsck.reiserfs

or

change fs_freq and fs_passno (5-th and 6-th records) of lines in
/etc/fstab which describe how to mount reiserfs partitions.
