Description Martin Väth 2009-03-25 18:21:41 UTC

The pkg_postinst() of squashfs-tools-4.0_pre20080324 states
   "This version of mksquashfs requires a 2.6.24 kernel or better"
However, this version actually requires a 2.6.29 kernel or better.

Hi@ll,

I ran into the same problem here on my laptop.

arko j0inty # /etc/init.d/squash_portage start
* Mounting read-only squashfs image...
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error

As you can see I use the squashfs_portage image and yesterday I ran "emerge --sync" and then "emerge -uND world".

In this update their was the update for squashfs-4.0_pre(blub) included and I installed it. Then when I was turned off the computer the squashfs image was new written with the new mksquashfs tool. Today when I was booting my laptop I saw the error message above and in the dmesg log I found:

Do Mär 26 19:57:19 2009 [kernel] [ 3300.219729] SQUASHFS error: Major/Minor mismatch, trying to mount newer 4.0 filesystem
Do Mär 26 19:57:19 2009 [kernel] [ 3300.219732] SQUASHFS error: Please update your kernel

emerge --info you will find attached.

regards
j0inty

I've changed the ewarn in the squashfs-tools-4.0 ebuild in the tree.
