https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=232855 Summary: autofs does not map network paths consistently. Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: phill(a)bio.warwick.ac.uk QAContact: qa(a)suse.de This bug first manefested itself under 10.1, but is still present under 10.2 (downloaded iso). Autofs setup to automount NFS exported filesystems as in the default configuration under /net. A host that only exports one filesystem, will have the path trimmed to the first directory containg sub-directories, a host exporting multiple filesystems will not. As an example suppose machine1 exports :- /usr/people /tmp suppose machine2 exports /usr/people both have directories a,b,c under /usr/people On the machine mounting the following would be visible :- /net/machine1/tmp /net/machine1/usr/people/a /net/machine1/usr/people/b /net/machine1/usr/people/c /net/machine2/a /net/machine2/b /net/machine2/c This is clearly not consistent, and I considder it a bug as previous to version 10.x the behavior was to mount using the complete path. On investigation I managed to fix this problem by downloading the sourses for the autofsd from kernel.org and applying the autofs-4.1.4-multi-parse-fix.patch also from kernel.org Could this pease be addressed for future releases. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

[Bug 268861] New: autofs incorrect behavior when only one NFS share exported

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=268861 Summary: autofs incorrect behavior when only one NFS share exported Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i386 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: clin(a)esri.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de My issue is identical to the one in this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/autofs@linux.kernel.org/msg05459.html In a nutshell, when using autofs with /net, if I navigate to a system with multiple shares (share1, share2), I see the directory structure: /net/hostname/share1/<contents of share1> /net/hostname/share2/<contents of share2> However, if I navigate to a system with only one directory exported, I see the following: /net/hostname/<contents of only exported dir> Instead of /net/hostname/share_only/<contents> I observed this behavior with autofs-4.1.4-62.3. I was able to backport a patch from upstream and roll my own RPM to fix the problem. The patch is mentioned in this post: http://www.mail-archive.com/autofs@linux.kernel.org/msg05456.html I will attach the patch to the spec file and SRPM to this bug. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

[Bug 230720] New: OpenSuse 10.2 changed my reiserfs to ext3 on my hd and destroyed partition table on usb disk
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 04 May '07

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230720 Summary: OpenSuse 10.2 changed my reiserfs to ext3 on my hd and destroyed partition table on usb disk Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 5 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: oouc(a)yahoo.com QAContact: jsrain(a)novell.com A 300 MB USB hard disk that has backed up many systems is unreachable since plugged it in while running openSuse 10.2. I was multi-booting on my internal hd under Windows and many linux updates. I installed openSuse 10.2 on a partition that had previously used openSuse 10.1, some beta releases of openSuse 10.2, and finally Edubuntu. This partition was reiserfs. After I installed openSuse 10.2, booting my old Ubuntu from a different partition always failed to mount the two reiserfs partitions on my internal hd. I finally discovered that both of these partitions had been changed to ext3. No problem with the internal hd. I just changed the /etc/fstab from reiserfs on these two partitions and everything on that hd showed up again. But, I have a really big problem with an external USB hd with all of my backups. It had reiserfs partitions on it. I had previously been running openSuse 10.2 and the USB cable got caught and disconnected while OpenSuse 10.2 had the red in use led lit up. In fact it should not have been using the external hd at all. Bottom line is OpenSuse 10.2 destroyed the partition table on the external usb disk. Now any Linux just sees /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda1 ... /dev/sda8. What can I do to recover my year's of work on that hd? -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

[Bug 263116] New: System can't boot after auto update of kernel
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 04 May '07

04 May '07

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=263116 Summary: System can't boot after auto update of kernel Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: AutoYaST AssignedTo: ug(a)novell.com ReportedBy: alan.goodale(a)bmo.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Installation of Open Suse 10.2 works until the kernel is updated, after which the system is unbootable. This problem occurs 100% of the time (with every installation). Specifically, it occurs when the kernel is updated from 2.6.18.2-34 to 2.6.18.8-0.1 by the automatic on-line update feature. When the update occurs it creates two problems with the menu.lst file in the boot/grub directory, leaving the system unbootable . The first problem is with the original entries in the file. These entries remain after the update, which in my opinion is a good idea, as it is nice to be able to go back to a previous version should there be a serious problem with the new one. unfortunately, the kernel files that are referenced by these original entries are erased. Selecting any of them results iN a "file not found" error. The second problem is with the new entries. The entry for the "root" parameter contains a string which GRUB cannot interpret, resulting in a parsing error. This makes the new entries also unusable. The string that is inserted is "/dev/mapper/nvidia_ddcffgid_part7". If I manually replace this string with a proper reference such as (hd0,4) before the system reboots, then the new entries are now usable and the system can be booted and used. My suspicion is that this is being caused because of my motherboard based RAID controller. I know that recognition of these controllers is a new feature with 10.2, and it worked well for the initial installation, but I suspect that the update process is not so versatile, resulting in the problems. A brief description of my hardware, and contents of my "menu.lst" file can be found below. I have two other system generated files, but I can't find a place to attach these to this bug report. Please let me know how to send these through. If a potential fix is available then I am prepared to test it out by reinstalling from scratch. ========== HARDWARE ============================================== Motherboard Vendor Asus Model L1N64-SLI WS Chip Set nVidia nForce 680a SLITM Serial 6CM0AG101103 Revision 1.01G BIOS Revision 0205 BIOS Utilities Ver 2.26 Video Card Vendor EVGA Model e-GeForce 7300 GT Chipset 7 Series GPU Driver Compiled from download CPU Vendor AMD Model Athlon 64 FX-72 Speed 2.8 Ghz Memory Vendor Corsair Model TWIN2X2048-6400C4 Capacity 4 x 1024 HDD Vendor Hitachi Model TSD-320H SY Capacity 2 x 320 Gig Configuration SATA Raid 1 ========== MENU.LST ============================================== # Modified by YaST2.
