Description Norman Back 2023-04-10 07:12:49 UTC
When using initramfs with /usr on its own partition, 
upgrading to sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.47.0, followed by failure to initiate recreation of initramfs,
reformat /usr and restore, is followed by boot failure - unsupported feature FEATURE_C12


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.47.0
2. Reformat and restore /usr partition.
3. Do not recreate initramfs
4. reboot
Actual Results:  
Fail to boot with unsupported feature FEATURE_C12

Expected Results:  
Successful boot.

Comment 1 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-04-10 07:16:36 UTC
I imagine but can't be sure that this message is coming from grub.

At what point in the boot process do you see it? Could you take a picture?
Comment 2 Norman Back 2023-04-10 07:21:26 UTC
This occurred on my system when I upgraded to sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.47.0, did a system backup, followed by a test boot of the backup.

I didn't expect upgrading to sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.47.0 would need initramfs recreated.

I think it might be nice to issue a news on this so that people who don't test their backups don't fall into this trap and end up with a number of unbootable backups.

I am using refind. In the middle on the initramfs when it tried to fsck /usr.

Ah, that makes sense.

    sys-fs/e2fsprogs: disable metadata_csum_seed and orphan_file features for new fs by default
    
    This keeps support for metadata_csum_seed and orphan_file but doesn't *enable*
    it by default in new filesystems.
    
    Unfortunately, support was added in the same e2fsprogs release which enabled
    it by default. By changing the defaults as Debian has, we give people a chance
    to upgrade their initramfses, live media, etc, so they can actually mount partitions
    created by such a new e2fsprogs.
    
    It feels wrong to have to do this but I don't see much other choice. At least we're
    in good company.
