Chris, I tried some commands and captured what /var/log/message "said" about each. I'm somewhat alarmed that these errors somehow crept into the image. There were NO outages or interruptions during the conversion. smartctl doesn't "say" anything about drive problems either... hence the alarm.

That's unexpected though. I'm going to try it in a VM. It should work. Works for me. But I'm confused by your paths, i.e. are you really creating /ext2_saved and /ext4 in the root directory? Assume root user: mount /dev/vdb /mnt/btrfs mount -t ext4 -o ro,loop /mnt/btrfs/ext2_saved/image /mnt/ext4 That works for me. But you could alternatively try: mount /dev/vdb /mnt/btrfs losetup -r /dev/loop0 /mnt/btrfs/ext2_saved/image blkid /dev/loop0 What file system does libblkid think it is? Could be ext2, ext3, or ext4, in which case mount -t ext4 exclusively mounts ext4 and will otherwise fail. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
