Description of problem: I noticed that when ext3 volume has cluster size 1K instead of default some strange minor errors appear on it periodically: Entry int <some path> <some number> '..' on /dev/sda5 has filetype set. CLEARED. Also if installation partition has non-default cluster size, Fedora installer frequently fails to install system properly: sometimes rpm db becomes corrupt during the installation and not all packages are installed, sometimes it is corrupt after installation and must be rebuilt. If cluster size is default then everything is always installed properly. This installer error became especially frequent in Fedora 8. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): first appeared long ago. Became frequent in 2.6.23.1 How reproducible: frequently Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I wonder if anyone even tests ext3 with 1k blocks?
for /boot, yeah, though that doesn't get much abuse. Also, mandriva messed up and installed all their systems on 1k; chaos ensued. http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=32547 I'll test it on rawhide. I could sure use a simple reproducer. Hm, I'll point fsx at a 1k-block fs for a while. Thanks, -Eric
well, 1k block install of rawhide passed, and left me with a clean filesystem... still, something is going on. Guess I'll try F8...
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.
