It's an ugly script trying to mount all partitions from /proc/partitions unconditionally: ------------ DISKS=$(cat /proc/partitions | awk '{print $4}' | \ grep -v name | grep -v '^$' | grep -v loop | grep '[0-9]') ROOT=$(mount | grep ' / ' | cut -d ' ' -f 1) for partition in ${DISKS} ; do partition=/dev/${partition} if [ -b ${partition} ] && [ ${partition} != ${ROOT} ] ; then if mount -v ${partition} /mnt ; then if [ -f /etc/SuSE-release ] && [ -f /mnt/etc/motd ] ; then replace_motd /mnt/etc/motd fi umount /mnt &> /dev/null fi sleep 1 fi done ------------ The crash happens when trying to mount /dev/sda3 (Extended Partition) with reiserfs. Other tries like vfat, due to no -t option given survive: mount -v /dev/sda3 /mnt mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/sda3 I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or /proc/filesystems Trying vfat Trying hfs Trying minix Trying reiserfs -> crash So I can reproduce the issue doing: mount -t reiserfs /dev/sda3 /mnt fdisk -l /dev/sda .. /dev/sda3 4289355 976768064 486239355 85 Linux extended /dev/sda5 4289418 23856461 9783522 83 Linux .. I can workaround the issue and clean up the script. Still I thought it's worth reporting, the crash does not happen on SLES 11 SP1. Unfortunately there is no backtrace in the serial logs, a kdump kernel gets booted, but on the machine I tested kdump does not work as expected, possibly due to IOMMU being used (bug#668872). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
