Description Jack Tanner 2010-05-20 17:13:48 UTC
Description of problem:

ext4 doesn't support mount options uid= or user= ; that's OK. Crashing when those options are given is not OK.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

e4fsprogs-1.41.9-3.el5

hardware:

http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_867c9af2-f29c-4306-97c7-b28952f8c1e2

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mount -o uid=luser /mnt/foo # note error message in dmesg|tail
2. mount -o uid=luser /mnt/foo
  
Actual results:

Crash

Expected results:

Error message is repeated again.

Appears fixed upstream.  Still unhappy on 2.6.18-194.el5.

Guessing it's the same as https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15230
likely fixed by my commit at http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=15121c18a22ae483279f76dc9e554334b800d0f7

.... yep confirmed.

We'll get that fixed for 5.6, thanks.

This is actually a kernel bug, sorry I missed that it was filed for e4fsprogs.

Comment 4 Eric Sandeen 2010-08-05 20:10:28 UTC
Actually, Jack - what error messages are you getting when you do this?  You may actually be hitting bug #614957 ... in fact I think that's almost certainly it.

Ping, Jack?  What error messages are you getting?  Lacking response I may just dup this to 614957.
