hi,

it seems that the rootfs (a reiserfs) is damanged. I thought that i just have to create the file /forcefsck so that /etc/init.d/checkroot will run fsck on the filesystem, but the command that is executed is "fsck -C -a -f", but that command doesn't check the filesystem if it is a reiserfs. fsck.reiserfs skipps all checks as it seems, since the filesystem has been marked as cleanly unmounted.

The problem is, that i cannot remount the rootfs read-only after the system has been booted completly. So i have the following questions:

- how can i tell gentoo to do a real complete check of the rootfs at startup (where the rootfs should be read-only mounted)
- how can i do that via ssh on a running system
- which paramters can i pass when booting gentoo, so that it boots into maintainance mode where the rootfs is still mounted read-only?


Thx
  Sven
