http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14354 --- Comment #71 from Alexey Fisher <bug-track@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 2009-10-17 06:01:45 --- you don't have to edit init script, all you need is to boot with "break=mount". On ubuntu/debian this will stop boot in initrd without mounted root. After this you can mount it read only or what ever you need. But you can't fsck it, initrd do not include such tools. Continue: mount -o ro /dev/sda1_your_root /root mount -o bind /dev /root/dev chroot /root /bin/bash now you'll have clean mount without any other corruptions caused by init script bug. Please can anyone place this "auto_da_alloc=0". On my system this work around data lost issue. Can any one confirm this too? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
