Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.37-2 Severity: important
I couldn't mount my hda6 partition anymore... # e2fsck /dev/hda6 e2fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005) /dev/hda6: recovering journal Assertion failure in jread() at /usr/projects/e2fsprogs/debian/e2fsprogs-1.37/e2fsck/recovery.c line 140: "offset < journal->j_maxlen" So I thought, if the journal is causing troubles, let's get rid of it. But... # tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/hda6 tune2fs 1.37 (21-Mar-2005) The needs_recovery flag is set. Please run e2fsck before clearing the has_journal flag. Oops... circularity! Finally fetched the source, uncommented the assertion, et voila, e2fsck continued fine and I could mount my partition again. This assertion is probably very important, but my partition seems in perfect condition right now, and I think there should be an easier way to resolve this problem than fetching, modifying and compiling the source... -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-ck3 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages e2fsprogs depends on: ii e2fslibs 1.37-2 ext2 filesystem libraries ii libblkid1 1.37-2 block device id library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.37-2 common error description library ii libss2 1.37-2 command-line interface parsing lib ii libuuid1 1.37-2 universally unique id library -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
