 Posted: Tue Aug 06, 2024 11:52 am Post subject: Unbootable system after updates yesterday |
 |
|
I have a ancient system - I had earlier problems because I didn't have initramfs installed and the system couldn't boot because of /usr being on a different partition than root. I went with dracut and created the initramfs and things have been fine for a few weeks. Last night the system rebooted and I'm seeing the following:
| Code: | * Checking local filesystems ...
fsck.ext3: symobol lookup error: fsck.ext3: undefined symbol: ext2fs_list_backups
* Filesystems couldn't be fixed
* rc: Aborthing!
* Error: fopen(/var/log/rc.log) failed: No such file or directory
* Warning: temporary logfile left behind: /run/openrc/rc.log
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
|
Booting in livecd it looks like /dev/sda3 (root) /dev/sda6 (usr) are mounting, but sda5 (tmp),sda7 (home),sda8(var) are not. I ran a reiserfsc on sda8 thinking that was the problem. I booted with a live CD and ran reiserfsck on /dev/sda2-sda8 and no errors were found. I ran a fsck.ext3 on /dev/sda1 (boot) and no errors.
After the boot errors, I'm still able to log in, and manually mount those partitions, but whenever a filesystem check is required, that error occurs.
Any ideas?

Okay.. this seems to be the issue with e2fsprogs and initramfs
https://bugs.gentoo.org/904093
I upgraded to:
| Code: | | Thu Aug 1 09:07:35 2024 >>> sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.47.1 |
I did rebuild my initramfs with dracut, but same issue.

Rolling back to sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.47.0-r3 I have a bootable system again. sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.47.1 is where I have problems.

As a side note, I suggest planning on migrating away from ReiserFS as it is due to be removed from the kernel in 2025 (maybe kernel 6.15 or 7.0 by then). |
