PostPosted: Mon Nov 04, 2019 4:03 am    Post subject: F2FS not mounting properly, Can’t figure out why Reply with quote

I’ve been on Gentoo since kernel 2.6-ish. Used it mostly as a lightweight/custom install for a home server over the years. I’m no pro, but I’m not unfamiliar with the setup. I’m building a replacement server on the ASRock Z390 ITX/AC board with a NVME 960 EVO. I’ve not dealt with NVME before nor F2FS. I am experiencing this issue, but with all versions of F2FS-tools:

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1089766-start-0.html

So I disabled automatic fsck in my fstab. The main problem is that I have another partition for portage that refuses to mount properly; it gives the normal bad/missing superblock, codepage or helper file missing error. *But* I can mount it read only and then remount it read write immediately afterwards and I don’t understand why. This has happened with initramfs and booting straight up without it. Genkernel and then custom skimmed down kernel, both v5.2.3.

Nothing additional given from -v, dmesg, or system log. I’ve overwritten the partition with a new filesystem and get the same error.

Since my parenthetical statement of the error wasn't sufficient:
Code:
 * Mounting local filesystems ...
mount: /var/db/repos: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nvme0n1p4, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.


If I then do
Code:
mount -o ro /dev/nvme0n1p4 /var/db/repos
mount -o remount rw /var/db/repos


I can mount it.

If I'm in the livecd/USB environment, I can mount it normally. In my chroot or booting normally, I have to do the aforementioned.

I looked a bit closer and the onus is on me
Code:
whint_mode=fs_based

should be
Code:
whint_mode=fs-based


Why do these nomenclature semantics change between the option label and the option itself?!

Correction, root still isn't mounting if fsck is run on it during boot.

Same result. Stays as a read only mount.

I did note that some others experienced a similar problem with /etc/init.d/root not being added to openrc's boot list. I looked at the file and noted that the remount command is
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /


This throws an error with f2fs, but the following does not
Code:
mount -o remount rw /


Side note, I love SSDs I was able to test the combinations of the following in only a few minutes.

[Re]booting with each and both data_flush and whint_mode=fs_based, with and without "1" in the fstab pass field. I only receive successful boots with a read-write root filesystem with fsck + no additional mount options + modified /etc/init.d/root/ or having the pass field set to "0" without the root script modified.

Sorry, but I have no ideas how to fix it. And I can't do tests as I don't use F2FS anymore.

What are you using on your own SSD(s)? Except for the portage partition, this is more or less a read-heavy workload. For some others, I was going to bench XFS vs F2FS to see how they differ.
