Source: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.125
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 e2fsprogs

I have a minimal system with only btrfs filesystems, and e2fsprogs is
not needed on it.  It would be nice to be able to uninstall it.

however, when i uninstall e2fsprogs and reboot into an initramfs built
by initramfs-tools, i see the following error and then i get dropped
back into the initramfs shell:

(initramfs) exit
/init: line 1: logsave: not found
The root filesystem on /dev/vda1 requires a manual fsck


BusyBox v1.22.1 (Debian 1:1.22.0-19) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs) 


even if i remove the logsave and "requires a manual fsck" lines from
/scripts/functions in the initramfs, these errors repeat themselves
and i can't get the system booted again.

It would be nice to remove the need for e2fsprogs for systems that
aren't using the extX family of filesystems.

If e2fsprogs was not essential then of course I would add a dependency,
but policy says I must not.  So I'm not going to fix this.

Since btrfs doesn't need fsck, you can set the fsck pass in /etc/fstab
to '0' and initramfs-tools won't try to run fsck or logsave.

It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice
versa.
