Bugzilla Bug 165289

Since the tools are backwards-compatible with 3.0, everybody should be able to
mark this version stable.

I'm hoping to have this done on or before February 12th.

Someone forgot to add arches.

Stable on x86

amd64 squashed

Stable on ppc

Umm... this never should have been closed yet.

ppc64 stable

alpha done

Not sure if I filled this out right but here is the problem I have. when I
start the live cd I have -
The numbers are displaied like this [17179721.332000]buffer I/O errors on dev
hdc (HDD) logical block 325086 (end) although not the end because others
followed
I also recieved SQUASHFS sb_bread fault reading block 27737ea8:11c5  (end) what
is this and how do I fix it. I have MEPIS on my computer now and still am
interested in gento for exploring. can you or someone you know help me with my
first boot into gentoo? thanks-lost in md.This is on a hp pavilion xe-783 some
what updated

Bugzilla is not a support forum, and that definitely doesn't have a damn thing
to do with getting the ebuild stable.

ia64 stable

By the way, I don't know if this helps you or not, but this version of
squashfs-tools has a multi-threaded mksquashfs which drastically decreases the
time needed to make a squashfs image on SMP machines.

hppa is waiting for bug #168131 to be fixed so that multithreaded programs such
as this one will work properly. Sadly, mksquashfs *always* uses threads even if
you do not request it, with no way to make it use just a single thread, not
even with -processors 0:

# mksquashfs . foo.image -processors 0
mksquashfs: -processors should be 1 or larger

Without specifying -processors, it does this:

elmer ~ # mksquashfs . foo.image -processors 1
Parallel mksquashfs: Using 1 processor
Creating big endian 3.0 filesystem on foo.image, block size 65536.

... and after a while just sits there idling with its children:

# pgrep mksquashfs
19320
19321
19322
19323
19324
19325

... *forever*. :)

Thanks for the heads up.  I had no clue why it wasn't keyworded on HPPA and now
I do, so I can leave you guys alone about it.

mips stable.

All arches done... =]
