yum.log for the update that appeared to trigger the bug
So FWIW, it is unlikely that selinux is at fault; rather it may be ext3's extended attribute handling, which selinux makes use of... e2fsprogs-1.40.4 has some new checks in place that may have forced the check (the "primary superblock differs..." message; I wish it printed what the differences *were*) so it is quite possible that the problems occurred much earlier and were only found due to the forced check. When was the last time the fs was checked? Do you have either the repair output, or an e2image of the filesystem prior to repair, so we can get an idea of what corruption was found?

Contents of /lost+found after fsck
The fs was created in November 2007, and might not have been checked since then. Sorry, no repair output, no e2image, but I have attached the contents of /lost+found which might be some help. I'll look at the lost+found contents after the fsck, but I'm not sure it will be a lot of help. Unfortunately this looks a bit like "something, somewhere went wrong at some point and e2fsck discovered it" but it's not a lot to go on. Regarding selinux, you can certainly disable it if you wish, but I don't think it's the root cause here. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
