Hey folks! I'm sending up a flare for help with a potential F41 blocker that looks pretty tricky. It is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2318710 .
The problem is fairly easy to reproduce. Install Fedora 40 or 41 Beta with an ext4 root partition, take a snapshot (for convenience in testing), then do an offline upgrade to current F41 (or offline update any one of a specific list of packages that triggers the issue, which Kamil Paral worked out - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2318710#c14 ). On the boot after the offline upgrade runs, you'll drop to emergency mode, with the system complaining about 'ext4 bad orphan inode' issues. But if you just reboot from this state, the system will then boot up fine. This only seems to happen on ext4, it's not affecting installs to xfs or btrfs. But we suspect there are still quite a few people out there with their root partition on ext4, so we're worried this might have to block the release. It's a pretty odd bug. We can't see anything much in common between the packages that trigger it - no files in weird places, no odd scripts. The failure case itself is pretty weird. Fabio had a good theory that it might be caused by the rpm-plugin-ima package, but sadly testing I did today indicates that is not the case. If anyone has any bright ideas what might be going on here, please do reply or add them to the bug!
