[Bug 577798] New: mounts a reiserfs partition and reports ext3.
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577798 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577798#c0 Summary: mounts a reiserfs partition and reports ext3. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: carlos.e.r@opensuse.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- I was doing a recover operation. I installed 11.2 x64 on a reiserfs partition, then replaced fstab from a backup copy, forgetting that the root line was for ext3, and rebooted. No error was reported. But... there were strange things. I copied them: Mount said it was an ext3 filesystem: /dev/sda9 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) because fstab had: LABEL=a_test2 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 But "file -s /dev/sda9" said: /dev/sda9: ReiserFS V3.6 which is correct, and boot.msg log proves it: <5>[ 3.104641] REISERFS (device sda9): found reiserfs format "3.6" with standard journal <5>[ 3.104652] REISERFS (device sda9): using ordered data mode <4>[ 3.104653] reiserfs: using flush barriers <5>[ 3.105080] REISERFS (device sda9): journal params: device sda9, size 8192, journal first block 18, max trans len 1024, max batch 900, <5>[ 3.105360] REISERFS (device sda9): checking transaction log (sda9) <5>[ 3.146242] REISERFS (device sda9): Using r5 hash to sort names Ie, it is and was a reiserfs partition, but mount wrongly reported that it was ext3. There is a bug here. Notice that damage may become if you fsck in this situation: because of this, I classify as MAJOR. (I corrected the fstab and rebooted; things are correct now and no damage seems to have come out of it... (I did not try to fsck).

Since there was no damage, could you revert your fstab to the broken one and then post the contents of /proc/mounts?
This may be a kernel problem, but it's more likely to be a problem updating /etc/mtab.
Done. _etc_mtab /dev/sda9 / ext3 rw,acl,user_xattr 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 /dev/sda3 /boot ext2 rw,acl,user_xattr 0 0 /dev/sda8 /data/vmware xfs rw 0 0 /dev/sda12 /data/storage_a xfs rw 0 0 /dev/sdc14 /data/storage_c xfs rw 0 0 fusectl /sys/fs/fuse/connections fusectl rw 0 0 securityfs /sys/kernel/security securityfs rw 0 0 _proc_mounts: rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755 0 0 /dev/sda9 / reiserfs rw,relatime,acl,user_xattr 0 0 /root/proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw,relatime 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 0 0 /dev/sda3 /boot ext2 rw,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl 0 0 /dev/sda8 /data/vmware xfs rw,relatime,attr2,noquota 0 0 /dev/sda12 /data/storage_a xfs rw,relatime,attr2,noquota 0 0 /dev/sdc14 /data/storage_c xfs rw,relatime,attr2,noquota 0 0 fusectl /sys/fs/fuse/connections fusectl rw,relatime 0 0 securityfs /sys/kernel/security securityfs rw,relatime 0 0 mount command: /dev/sda9 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/sda3 on /boot type ext2 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/sda8 on /data/vmware type xfs (rw) /dev/sda12 on /data/storage_a type xfs (rw) /dev/sdc14 on /data/storage_c type xfs (rw) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) If you need, I have copied boot.msg and /var/log/messages files -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm sorry, but 11.2 is now out of maintenance, so I'm closing this bug. Please reopen if you encounter it again in one of the supported releases. Thanks.
I hate that a bug is closed because nobody has cared in months or years. But Ok, can't be helped. What I can not accept is that it is closed as "solved" as nothing has been done, so it is not "solved". This is a WONTFIX or NO RESPONSE. -- 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'm also not happy that I can't fix every reported bug. Sorry, but our resources are simply limited.

You are right - I closed it as FIXED by accident. -- 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.
