NTFS mount problems have been reported many times for Alpha2. At least for ntfs-3g, the cause might be an -O1 optimizer issue in gcc-4.3, and I think it might be the similar with the issues in ntfsresize and ntfsclone (see bug 355151). Bug 354113 analyses the issue mostly with ntfs-3g which gets the most exposure and cannot even mount empty, freshly created partitions created by mkfs.ntfs. The issue seems to be specific to IA32: For ntfs-3g, the issue is specific to IA32: In the package which includes the only workaround beside gcc-4.2 (-O0), a test case in all archtectures which shows that it is specific to IA32. The debug info from bug 355151 also shows that i586 is the platform where ntfsresize & ntfsclone fail. Interesting: The data variable affected in bug 355151 and 354113 is the same: lcn (chance?) BTW: gcc-4.3 triggers also an issue with the latest qemu which is part of kvm-61. For it, using O1 is enough, but there may be more issues. gcc41 is fine. In a %check to verify ntfs-3g after each build, I found that mkfs.ntfs does not work on ppc, ppc64, s390 and s390x in Factory. That Leaves x86-* and ia64 as the only platforms where mkfs.ntfs works. Bug 355151 and bug 354113 also show NTFS kernel-filesystem errors, which may indicate that even the in-kernel NTFS filesyste might be affected by the gcc-4.3 problem. AFAIK, we cannot compile parts of the kernel with -O1 or -O0 because it needs certain optimisations to work correctly. -- 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.

GCC, at one point, had a problem with over-aggressive stack aliasing that would trigger with lots of inline functions on powerpc. In userland, this went unnoticed since the stack size isn't as severely limited as it is in the kernel. We stepped down to -O1 for reiserfs, and it worked as expected. I expect it would probably work for the in-kernel NTFS module, but I'd prefer to just disable the in-kernel module for openSUSE 11.0 in favor of ntfs-3g. It's effectively read-only and the general solution is now ntfs-3g. Having the ntfs-3g package link mount.ntfs-3g to mount.ntfs would still allow fstabs containing just "ntfs" to work as expected. -- 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.
