Description Matt 2007-07-20 14:16:51 UTC

baselayout-2.0.0_alpha4 & _alpha3 confuse reiser4 partitions on a reiser4-enabled kernel with reiserfs partitions

one speciality, though: the reiser4 partition uses cryptcompress plugin with lzo1

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create reiser4 partition with mkfs.reiser4 -o create=ccreg40,compress=lzo1 /dev/foo
2. extract portage tarball on it
3. set fstab up
4. reboot system (you need a system with at least 1 more reiserfs partition, at best /boot with reiserfs & / with reiserfs
5. see strange output of fsck.reiser4 or fsck.reiserfs with list of reiserfs plugins; usually boot-produce halts & asks for root password to correct errors



Expected Results:  
it should have mounted the reiser4 partitions without problems (it did this with baselayout-1)

/etc/fstab:

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

/dev/sda1 /boot         reiserfs noatime,nodiratime             1 2
/dev/sda7 / reiserfs            noatime,nodiratime              0 1
/dev/sda8                none   swap    sw                      0 0

/dev/sda9 /usr/portage  reiser4 noauto,noatime,nodiratime

Yup, the noauto option means just that - no automatic mounting.

For the fsck errors, see bug #116016 for a patch to reiserfsprogs and give feedback on it.

Comment 2 Matt 2007-07-20 14:38:23 UTC

what still wonders me is that strange output which those reiser4- or reiserfsprogs give,

I'll give your patch a try - thanks :)
