Details

A new installation of a system which uses JFS as its root filesystem will not boot because fsck.jfs doesn't exist, i.e. rc.sysinit cannot find fsck.jfs. An easy solution would be to put the jfsutils into the base packages group.
This task depends upon

Do we also have this problem for xfsprogs?

I wonder if another way is to avoid running fsck on xfs/jfs root partitions by default, so the user installs them when he needs them. Of course by then, it's probably too late!

So perhaps these do need to be in base.

This isn't quite a bug. XFS and JFS utilities are not part of the Base system, so you don't get them unless you explicitly install them from the System category.

In the future, we may move them into Base.
