Do you have an /sbin/fsck.jfs on your root partition? Because here |
| 6 |
it doesn't exist. Hmm, you did emerge jfsutils? |

(Yes, you said that "the remaining filesystems fsck fine", but |
| 9 |
journalled file systems do not really need to be fully checked, |
| 10 |
they just need to replay a few journal entries, and fine.) |

The problem I had here with reiserfs upon an irregular shutdown, |
| 13 |
was that the root partition mounted okay, replaying several journal |
| 14 |
entries, but the boot scripts refused to mount the home partition, |
| 15 |
seemingly because it was uncleanly unmounted. I've sidestepped |
| 16 |
this by changing the localmount script, to simply explicitly mount |
| 17 |
the home partition, and now all is fine after a lockup (experiments |
| 18 |
with a driver): journals get replayed and it boots on. |

Maybe the scripts are doing something similar wrong for you, but |
| 21 |
for the root partition, refusing to mount it because it is unclean |
| 22 |
and it gets confused by the journal? |
