Hi, All
found strange problem with mke2fs on potato:
1. set new 20gig disk as /dev/hdb and created 2gig linux partition as
/dev/hdb1
2. running potato with kernel 2.2.14 on /dev/hda
3. run mke2fs on /dev/hdb1 "mke2fs -c -m 0 /dev/hdb1" and it finished ok
4. was able to mount /dev/hdb1 on /mnt and copy files to adn from it
5. rebooted with debian 2.1 (slink) rescue disk "rescue root=/dev/hda1"
AND WAS UNABLE TO MOUNT /dev/hdb1 ! mount printed something like
"Unable to mount:bad fs superblock, bad mount options or already
mounted"
6. ok, rebooted again with rescue floppy, go to "Execute shell" and
run mke2fs on /dev/hdb1 from floppy. All went ok and now i'm able to
mount /dev/hdb1 while booting from disk and from rescue.
Looks like mke2fs/mount/ext2 incompatible changed while
moving from slink to potato (or from kernel 2.0 to kernel 2.2).
Is there known bug(s)? Should i report it to kernel folks?
any ideas/help are greatly appreciated
OK
