http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=547636 Summary: parted: error: file system has an incompatible feature enabled. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jw@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- This happens with the rescue system from 11.1, on an ext3 partition formerly used under 10.3, Attempting a manual resize calling parted. GNU Parted 1.8.8 Apparently our parted is incompatible with our partitions. I haven't used tune2efs before. I attempted to remove has_journal, resizeable_inode, dir_index, and ext_attr features. This failed for ext_attr: tune2fs 1.41.1 (01-Sep-2008) Clearing filesystem feature 'ext_attr' not supported. Using installation, from the 11.1 DVD, I was able to resize the partition with the yast partitioner. It required to assign a different root partition first, which is plausible for an installation workflow latern, but resizing, so that there is room for a new root partition, appears not to be a supported workflow. Related feature request: There is no hint what the user should do. Please add some diagnostics like printing the list of supported/unsupported features. Please add a reference to tune2fs or debugs Example: In http://www.unixboard.de/vb3/showthread.php?t=39141 the error message reads Error: File system has an incompatible feature enabled. Compatible features are has_journal, dir_index, filetype, sparse_super and large_file. Use tune2fs or debugfs to remove features. (they don't say which system this is.) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
