https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=307334#c24 Petr Gajdos changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|ASSIGNED |RESOLVED Resolution| |WORKSFORME --- Comment #24 from Petr Gajdos 2007-10-17 07:51:46 MST --- Hmm, no, jfs-tools package will propably not be the culprit here. After several hours, I cannot say where the problem was or is. It seems from the source code, that reserved_sectors should be set in every case nonzero (the program ends with "bogus number of sectors" kernel message if and only if reserved_sectors variable is set to zero). Because neither me nor you can this reproduce and we haven't got image of broken fat, we must wait for another bugreport for this problem. Therefore I am closing this as WORKSFORME. On the other hand, the initial problem is solved and I will send this patch upstream to see if it is correct or not. -- 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.
