Which kernel are you referring to there? 2.4.13-pre3. It goes like this: reboot -> fsck -> no error mount -> do nothing -> umount -> fsck -> error Notice the error was triggered after fsck started and before you hit te (Y/N) prompt. > I'm interested in this problem because I have an open defect on this > particular issue, so any extra info you can provide might help me find > out where the problem still lies. I did some more tests, and went back to 2.4.10 (was compiled with jfs 1.0.7 though), all problem had gone. However, not only jfs will encounter this problem, doing a mkreiserfs will also trigger the same "...access beyond end of device" problem. Here is what Ive found so far: kernel filesystem problem --------------------------------------- 2.4.10 ext2,jfs,reiserfs no 2.4.13 ext2 no 2.4.13 jfs, reiserfs YES 2.4.14-pre3 ext2 no 2.4.14-pre3 jfs, reiserfs YES I have read about the 2.4.11 partition problem and verified that the partition patch already in the 2.4.14-pre3 tree. This may not be JFS problem after all: my guess is the partition patch for 2.4.11 messed things up even more. May be it is time to have some regression test procedure, don't you think? Anthony. |
