Reiserfs broken recently, git bisect narrows it down to commit c1eaa26b671299b3ec01d40c6c71ee19a4f81517. [ 52.365262] ReiserFS: warning: vs-500: unknown uniqueness -30719 =2E.. [27630.378732] ReiserFS: warning: vs-500: unknown uniqueness -30720 (and many more of the same with one of those two numbers on the end). Manifests as various file creation operations failing, like: (my /usr/src is on reiserfs with tail-packing enabled) cd /usr/src && git clone --local file://`pwd`/linux linux.testcase Git fails at creating the .config file in this example. I had originally thought that my filesystem was corrupt, but fsck showed me= to be clean, and a different kernel caused the problem to go away. I don't know enough of inode internals to understand why it broke like this. (Anybody looking to confirm the string, it's from the uniqueness2type funct= ion defined in "include/linux/reiserfs_fs.h"). --=20 Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Infra Guy E-Mail : robbat2@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 --2pi4Gp0KyRJpQ5Nw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Robbat2 @ Orbis-Terrarum Networks - The text below is a digital signature.
