Re: [gentoo-user] fsck check of /usr on a separate partition fails during boot

Thanks everyone, I've nailed it \o/ A more detailed story follows. After taking the approach of offloading / and /usr checks to Dracut I've disabled fsck for those partitions in /etc/fstab so OpenRC fsck wouldn't attempt to check /usr (and fail) by setting passno (the last column to 0). It turned
