Description of problem: (certain?) squashfs images created with Fedora Core 5 are unreadable by Fedora Core 6. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 6. Tested with the following kernels: 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6xen 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. download FC5 and FC6 rescue CDs wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/5/i386/iso/FC-5-i386-rescuecd.iso wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/6/i386/iso/FC-6-i386-rescuecd.iso 2. mount both mkdir fc5r fc6r mount -o loop FC-5-i386-rescuecd.iso fc5r mount -o loop FC-6-i386-rescuecd.iso fc6r 3. mount stage2.img from either mounted fs mkdir fc5i fc6i mount -o loop -t squashfs fc6r/images/stage2.img fc6i mount -o loop -t squashfs fc5r/Fedora/base/stage2.img fc5i Actual results: mounting stage2.img from FC5 rescue disk fails with the following error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop3, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so dmesg | tail shows: SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0x9e8be8e1 SQUASHFS error: unable to read inode lookup table Expected results: Would be able to mount either stage2.img file without errors. Additional info: Have not tested with other squashfs images besides these.
updating to the squashfs code in devel/ might make them mountable again, but there wasn't previously much thought given to backwards compatability, so there's no guarantees this will work. Chuck, it should be fairly safe to do an update of that code anyway, as nothing should be using it.
Should we put the new squashfs code from devel in both FC5 and FC6? I doubt that will make the FC5 images readable.
(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!
Does not reproduce on Fedora 8.
