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).
