[Bug 110138] Re: findfs/blkid detects ext3 partition as ntfs (without UUID)
FYI: I've upgraded from 6.06 to 8.04 (that's dapper to hardy) and had this problem. I had the same fsck error as reported above. At the maintenance shell mount -a mounted all the parititions and them CTRL+D would continue to boot. In short, my /dev/sda1 is /boot. The fstab was updated with UUIDs. But blkid reported a short UUID and the wrong filesystem for this partition: blkid /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1: UUID="7EFA-09BD" SEC_TYPE="msdos" TYPE="vfat" This doesn't make sense because /dev/sda1 is ext3: fdisk /dev/sda Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 31 248976 83 Linux findfs reported correctly with a short UUID, but would not with the longer UUID: findfs UUID="7EFA-09BD" /dev/sda1 findfs UUID="a1a3a3ef-cea0-4230-8098-070febf47f80" findfs: Unable to resolve 'UUID=a1a3a3ef-cea0-4230-8098-070febf47f80' However, fstab had this longer UUID=a1a3a3ef-cea0-4230-8098-070febf47f80 and worked fine with mount -a. Following Theodore Tso's advice from bug #66032, over here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/66032 I used dd on that partition and it all works swimmingly now that fsck uses that longer UUID and blkid reports correctly: blkid /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1: LABEL="/boot" UUID="a1a3a3ef-cea0-4230-8098-070febf47f80" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" -- findfs/blkid detects ext3 partition as ntfs (without UUID) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110138 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 110138] Re: findfs/blkid detects ext3 partition as ntfs (without UUID)
Please apply the already provided debdiff for feisty-proposed. The impact seems quite high, seeing people reporting problems, which may be related to this bug and having it in feisty-proposed would allow those to test and confirm it. The bug has been fixed upstream and for Gutsy already. The raw patch is also attached to this bug. The regression potential is quite high, given that it can lead to a boot failure, if there's a new problem with a currently working system because of this patch. Theodore, can you confirm that there has not been problem reported against e2fsprogs because of this patch and that it's a good candidate for a StableReleaseUpdate? ** Changed in: e2fsprogs (Ubuntu Feisty) Assignee: (unassigned) => Theodore Ts'o Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- findfs/blkid detects ext3 partition as ntfs (without UUID) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110138 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 110138] Re: findfs/blkid detects ext3 partition as ntfs (without UUID)
OK, I've looked at this some more, and I think I can guess what happened. The NTFS superblock is located in the boot sector (the first 512-byte sector on the disk).Code to zap the bootsector has been in mke2fs for a long time (since at least 2000, and probably earlier). However, in 2002 we added code to avoid zapping the bootsector if it looked like a BSD disk label, since that cause problems. I'm guessing that you had a partifion which previously had contained NTFS, or which at any rate had the NTFS signature at offset 3 from the beginning of the boot sector, but which also looked like BSD disk label, so mke2fs avoided clearing out the boot sector. This allowed blkid to misidentify the filesystem. The enclosed patches, which will be in e2fsprogs 1.40, tries harder to validate that the partition really is NTFS, and sets the NTFS UUID and Label information. It still can get fooled, since the MFT is located near the middle of the disk, so it won't necessarily get zapped by mke2fs. I will also probably change mke2fs so that it will be more aggressive about zapping the boot sector if it contains an NTFS signature. ** Attachment added: "Patch to add NTFS probing support (will be in e2fsprogs 1.40)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8125325/ntfs-probe-patch -- findfs/blkid detects ext3 partition as ntfs (without UUID) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110138 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
