Your divece was mounted, but failed to open, which says nothing special but possible problems in your system settings.

Comment 6 Perfect Gentleman 2018-11-24 15:00:53 UTC
I didn't hear any explanation why it works with 1.11.0 but not with 1.12.0
Comment 7 Mikle Kolyada (RETIRED) archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2018-11-24 15:04:08 UTC
How is that gentoo specific? 

You did not provide any info, /etc/init.d/fsck fails as it can't run f2fs' fsck command. As per your output fsck mounted your device, but could not open it at least twice. So nothing for gentoo here.

what info else should I provide?
there was no changes except f2fs-tools update.
if it's not gentoo specific, it must be reported to upstream.
Comment 9 Mark Gannon 2018-11-25 15:52:59 UTC
I'm also experiencing the issue and downgrading from sys-fs/f2fs-tools-1.12.0 to f2fs-tools-1.11.0-r1 resolved the issue.  I'm happy to provide more information, but I need help with getting the boot information from a systemd system.
Comment 10 Mikle Kolyada (RETIRED) archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2018-11-25 15:58:28 UTC
Again, go to upstream please.
Comment 11 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-12-03 13:46:14 UTC
Reopening as reporter contacted upstream [1] and a working patch is available (see URL).

=sys-fs/f2fs-tools-1.12.0-r1 is still affected by this at least on ARM. 1.12 should remain masked, until this is resolved as it can render the whole system unavailable if rootfs is on f2fs and has the fsck flag on in fstab.

Has this patch resolved the issue for the others? Which architectures?

Thanks!

for RO-fs -f switch should be used
Comment 16 Nikolay Kichukov 2018-12-04 09:07:50 UTC
This seems to be the case: /etc/init.d/fsck script contains:

        if _forcefsck; then
                fsck_opts="$fsck_opts -f"
                check_extra="(check forced)"

However it fails to boot, still. Downgrade of sys-f2/f2fs-tools fixes the issue.
Comment 17 Michele Santullo 2019-07-29 23:24:39 UTC
My system was also rendered unusable by this. Downgrading to f2fs-tools-1.11.0-r1 fixed the problem for me, or with 1.12.0-r1, the solution is to change the last column in the fstab's root mount to 0.

I'm running gentoo with kernel 4.20.17 x86_64, systemd 242-r6.

This caused my system to break after an update and it remained unusable for months. Only yesterday I had the time to sit down and find a solution, I think f2fs-tools should be masked until the problem is fixed as it just renders a system unusable and it's very hard (at least it was for me) to diagnose and laborious to recover from. Even on IRC #gentoo no one was able to help.
Comment 18 dwitt 2022-01-14 12:26:24 UTC
The title of this bug has a typo in the package category (sys-f2). This should be "sys-fs". I am assuming this is why this bug is not listed when a basic search of 'sys-fs/f2fs-tools' is done.

This comment seems the best way to bring this problem to the attention the right person(s).

Thanks,

Doug
