Description Armijn Hemel 2006-10-22 13:40:46 UTC

Description of problem:

With the upgrade to 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 I can't mount old squashfs filesystems
anymore.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.18-1.2200.fc5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade from 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 to 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5
2. Try to mount a squashfs 1.0 filesystem
3.
  
Actual results:
Can't mount squashfs 1.0 filesystem

Expected results:

mount squashfs

Additional info:

dmesg | tail
squashfs: version 3.1 (2006/08/09) Phillip Lougher
SQUASHFS error: Major/Minor mismatch, Squashfs 1.0 filesystems are unsupported
SQUASHFS error: Please recompile with Squashfs 1.0 support enabled

the previous kernel (2.6.17-1.2187_FC5) used squashfs 2.2

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2006-10-22 20:59:56 UTC

There's no guarantee for backwards compatibility right now with squashfs.
Outside of the installer it really shouldn't be used.

Comment 2 Armijn Hemel 2006-10-22 21:25:33 UTC

Unless you're doing embedded development, or reverse engineering work, where you
need to mount squashfs file systems over loopback. Sigh, I guess I will have to
keep that old 2.6.17 kernel around then.
