Ahh, my mistake, that's why I missed it, I was only really concerned |

with the loss of e2fsprogs |

I need e2fsck and mke2fs _in_ initramfs for changes saving partition |
36 |
support on aufs. This is my patch which applies cleanly against 3.4.32 |
37 |
(which by the way doesn't work at all, something about /sbin/mingetty |
38 |
missing but I'm sure you already fixed that): |

41 |
|
42 |
If util-linux has e2fsck and mke2fs I'd be happy to make the needed |
43 |
changes, but I don't see anything usable when I qlist util-linux. |
44 |
|
45 |
Please let me know how you would prefer I proceed (just don't suggest |
46 |
that I break the aufs stuff up because I'm far more likely to break it |
47 |
than submit working chunks of code.). |
