Package: libmagic1 Version: 5.04-4 Tags: patch Severity: wishlist The current version of libmagic1 doesn't support detecting JFS filesystem images. The files created with current jfsutils are JFS2 (JFS1 was the pre-2001 version used on AIX). Despite JFS_VERSION being set to 2 in the source, mkfs.jfs writes s_version (the version field, immediately following the 'JFS1' magic) as 1. The kernel's mounting code in jfs_mount.c just checks to make sure that s_version <= JFS_VERSION, so we're doing the same, assuming JFS_VERSION is 2.
Also of note, this patch contains a workaround for the issue noted the comments on bug 466032--the filesystem label is a maximum of 16 bytes long, and is not null-terminated; it's followed by the UUID, so a plain "string >\0" match would output garbage when the label was sixteen bytes long. Using a regex works around that problem. This was originally reported on Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file/+bug/395409 The patch will follow momentarily, so that I can put the bug number in the description; please let me know if anything about it needs to be changed.
