https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692375 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692375#c0 Summary: The boot partition is altered each time the system boots Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bluedzins@wp.pl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- To prevent malicious acts I check the integrity of the boot partition by simply calculating the checksum. If it is the same I configured it, it is OK, if not -- that it might be some act of cracking (virus, etc). But the thing is, despite boot partition in my case is used only for booting (after that boot partition is unmounted and physically detached from computer) each time I use it, it gets altered. Of course this prevents me and any user from doing any integrity tests. Here is the line from /etc/fstab: UUID=bf4d64ba-ac21-4c3f-b8a6-9a2a3fc7d13b /boot ext2 noatime,acl,user_xattr 1 2 Btw. after installation for about a month, it was OK (the checksum was OK), but (AFAIR) since reconfiguring boot loader (turning KDump on, and then off) on every boot I get another checksum. -- 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.

Otherwise the superblock is altered since it contains e.g. "last mount time" and "mount count" (see dumpe2fs). -- 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.
