Hello,
is there anything like that available?
Im creating a Gentoo based LiveCD and hope that I can use it for FreeBSD too, so that there is no need for managing two diffrent LiveCDs.

Well... as far as I can see from Linux' kernel, UFS write support is experimental.
Even if Linux' fsck was working on an UFS partition, would you trust it, knowing that the kernel write support itself is only experimental ?
In my opinion, something like fsck is either fully trustable or... useless !
For personally having several FreeBSDs and one Gentoo, I do not believe that trying to spare one CD is worth it.
(To tell you the truth... I even get a rescue disk for my freeBSD 6 and a different one for my freeBSD 8...)
And... the task you call managing... is reduced to... storing on a shelve !
If you really want to do that kind of thing then... think about app-admin/testdisk... you'll even be able to launch it from... DOS !
EDIT : BTW, if you installed your freeBSD via the root&boot cd... then... you get freeBSD's fsck on it... |
