https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1218864 Bug ID: 1218864 Summary: grub2: error messages: 'not a correct XFS inode' shown many many times Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: comes@naic.edu QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Do a fresh tumbleweed installation and select xfs as root filesystem. The installation completes successfully and the system reboot. After login run: update-bootloader --reinit and reboot. The system still reboots fine. Login and run again: update-bootloader --reinit Now after reboot before the grub menu appears you can see the following line printer many times: error: ../../grub-core/fs/xfs.c:541:not a correct XFS inode. This goes on for about a minute and then the boot porcess continues normally. Login and run again: update-bootloader --reinit After reboot before the grub menu appears you will see the previous error line printer many times but this time for about a couple of minutes and then the boot process continues normally. Running again: update-bootloader --reinit does not seem to extend the delay during which the error message is printed. I found this fedora bug report that describes the same issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2254370 and on comment 48 it is said that the following commit: https://github.com/rhboot/grub2/commit/1955d781ba20c1952adc820f3e587878b4f55... of grub2 1.12 is causing the issue. To test I have rebuild grub2 removing such commit from the source, I have installed the modified version of grub2 and run again: update-bootloader --reinit Now the system boots again without showing the error. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
