Description of problem: Creating a squashfs filesystem I got the following: Creating parts/rootfs image ... Parallel mksquashfs: Using 24 processors ... writer: Lseek on destination failed because Bad file descriptor, offset=0xc07106 ... FATAL ERROR:Probably out of space on output filesystem ... The problem (actually a regression) seems to be fixed upstream. Please provide an updated package with this fix (F22 is probably affected as well). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): squashfs-tools-4.3-11.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: Rare Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create squashfs on a multi core system with mksquashfs 2. 3. Actual results: In rare cases it fails with the error(s) in the description Expected results: No error Additional info: Similar report: https://www.mail-archive.com/openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org/msg65363.html Potential upstream fix: https://github.com/plougher/squashfs-tools/commit/de03266983ceb62e5365aac84fcd3b2fd4d16e6f
I'll take a look. squashfs-tools hasn't had a release in a while and cherry picking fixes from a part way to a new release version could potentially not work as expected.
I believe the github site is not the primary site for squashfs-tools. The kernel.org site (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/fs/squashfs/squashfs-tools.git/) has a more recent commit than github.
Would the commit mentioned in "Potential upstream fix" help in addressing this issue? If not, what diagnostic information would help with the investigation of this issue?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
We are now using the github site as upstream for squashfs-tools. (Sourceforge gets updated from their from time to time.) So we should have that change in the rawhide (f33) build now. I wasn't planning to do builds for f31 or f32 unless there was demand. If you can still reproduce this on f31 and/or f32 that would be a good reason to risk doing the updates there.
