#3 e4rat-0.2.3-r1 - e4rat-realloc gives error and does not seem to do anything

[muhlemmer]

This regards a gentoo compiled version.

Whenever issuing e4rat-realloc /var/lib/e4rat/startup.log I get the following messages:

Parsing file /var/lib/e4rat/startup.log
Unknown block device: no such device found in /dev

It does not seem that e4rat-realloc is really reallocating anything. There is almost no disk usage monitored and the process exits immediately.

Exit code is 0.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set init /usr/lib/systemd/systemd in /etc/e4rat.conf
2. Boot system with init=/sbin/e4rat-collect
3. Switch to systemctl rescue
4. e4rat-realloc /var/lib/e4rat/startup.log

Actual results:
Parsing file /var/lib/e4rat/startup.log
Unknown block device: no such device found in /dev

Expected results
Parsing file /var/lib/e4rat/startup.log
~ A reasonable amount of disk utilisation ~

This is a problem of mapping major minor device node to the path name of the device in /dev. I hope to fix this soon ;)
