[Bug 471249] New: mount hangs trying to loopback an image on a fuse mouted NTFS partition
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471249 Summary: mount hangs trying to loopback an image on a fuse mouted NTFS partition Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: contact@philipashmore.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-1.1 Firefox/3.0.5 In Vista I reduced the two NTFS partitons to their minimum to make space for a GNU/Linux install. Now I can dual boot OpenSuse and Vista. As it turned out, Vista still has over 20GB of free space, so I created a 15GB file using a small C++ program that calls truncate() on the specified file. I could be wrong but I think that by calling truncate, I'm creating a sparse file. It's thousands of times faster than "dd if=/dev/zero ..." which I think also creates a sparse file. # touch /windows/C/Users/me/Desktop/Linux/15G.img # truncate /windows/C/Users/me/Desktop/Linux/15G.img 15G # mkfs -t ext2 /windows/C/Users/me/Desktop/Linux/15G.img Finally I mounted the filesystem using a loopback device. # mount -o,loop,exec /windows/C/Users/me/Desktop/Linux/15G.img /home/butthaed/WinPart I've used this loopback partition intensively and it works fine. Recently, however, I'm getting a kerneloops... http://www.kerneloops.org/submitresult.php?number=205350 ..and the mount never completes. Shutdown also doesn't complete (5 seconds on the power off button solves this) and I get the "recovering journal" and "orphaned inodes" when the machine boots up. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install OpenSuse on a Vista machine dual boot. 2. Create a block file on an NTFS partition. 3. Create an ext2 filesystem on the block file. 4. Mount it and use it. Actual Results: Worked great for a while. Now it kerneloops'es. Expected Results: No kerneloops'es. -- 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.

i`d try upgrading to the latest ntfs-3g first The only version available is the one on the DVD - ntfs-3g-1.5012-2.15 and if that doesn`t help, also upgrade to latest fuse. The only version available is the one on the DVD - fuse-2.7.2-61.16

I'm not sure what the original 'loop-barrier2' patch does or if it is really needed.

It hasn't been pushed to mainline, which is a sign that it isn't so important.
oh,i think there is MUCH important kernel stuff around which is NOT in mainline. -- 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.
