With the -t option for both the mkfs and fsck commands, one can specify the filesystem type, provided that the commands /sbin/mkfs.<fstype> and /sbin/fsck.<fstype> exist. Reiserfs builds mkreiserfs and reiserfsck by default, but not the symlinks. Adding two 'ln -s' commands to create the following links should resolve the problem: /sbin/mkfs.reiserfs -> /sbin/mkreiserfs /sbin/fsck.reiserfs -> /sbin/reiserfsck
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release
already added missing links, thanks.
