Package: hfsprogs Version: 332.25-8 Severity: minor Tags: patch The manpage for the hfs/hfsplus mkfs and fsck tools are taken more or less directly from MacOS X and do not reflect the actual situation on Linux systems.
The patch below corrects the spelling of the tools from fsck_hfs to fsck.hfs and newfs_hfs to mkfs.hfs respectively and fixes a few other minor issues: - stop mentioning rc.boot as the caller of fsck during boot time. The actual caller depends on the init system used and is not of any importance to the user, so just remove this detail. - remove a warning the fsck needs to be run on the raw device, this is not true for Linux which provides a cache coheren block device node. - do not mention MacOS-specific tools for partitioning disks. We have quite a few tools on Linux, but at least under Linux a partition table is not required anyway. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.36-rc2+ (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages hfsprogs depends on: ii libbsd0 0.2.0-1 utility functions from BSD systems ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8o-2 SSL shared libraries hfsprogs recommends no packages. hfsprogs suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
