Description Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-04 16:24:06 UTC
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.

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.
Comment 10 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-03-28 13:36:03 UTC
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.
Comment 14 Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2007-05-11 05:02:50 UTC
mips stable.
