libblkid cramfs bugfix none

Description Mike McLean 2005-05-02 22:51:47 UTC 
* util-linux-2.12p-8
* glibc-2.3.5-4
* kernel-2.6.11-1.1276_FC4

Take a cramfs image (like stage2.img from the install disc) and try to 
mount it with mount -o loop.  Mount fails to autosense the fstype and the mount
fails.  If -t cramfs is added to the command line, the mount succeeds.

Furthermore, when the mount -o loop fails, the loop device is not freed. So
after running this command a few times you find yourself completely out of loop
devices.

libblkid cramfs bugfix

The problem is with the libblkid (from e2fsprogs package). There's wrong cramfs
magic number. The patch contains:

- fix of cramfs magic number
- support for cramfs LABELs

I sent it to e2fsprogs upstream too.
Comment 4 Karel Zak 2005-09-01 12:53:57 UTC 
Fixed in FC4|5. The problem is unimportant for RHEL3|4 where is the mount
command without libblkid. Closing...
