Hi all... I usually run my system the zen kernel (zen-kernel.org), but I've tried this with the default Archlinux kernel (pretty much a vanilla build) as well and for some reason, the root drive won't mount with the options I desire on anything above .29 The drive is an SSD, and this is really getting on my nerves. I've looked at the initscripts, fstab, everything else, and I just can't get any of this to work properly. It was mounting with all the options I specified in 2.6.39, but since some change to the kernel (or something else?) I can't mount with my options anymore. On top of this all, I've tried using both /dev/root and /dev/sdb1, but for some reason the kernel's only wanting to use /dev/root - I'm wondering if there's some kind of conflict due to that symlink... I know this isn't my initscripts, as I've also tried this using openrc, aside from the default arch init system, and because upon downgrading to 2.6.39 everything is working normally again, I know it is the kernel. Information: grub.cfg: linux /boot/linux-zen root=/dev/sdb1 ro rootfstype=ext4 rootflags=data=writeback noatime barrier=0 discard noinitrd fstab: /dev/sdb1 / ext4 data=writeback,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=0,discard 0 1 Upon attempting to remount manually, I only get the following when I try to use the options I specified above: EXT4-fs (sdb1): Cannot change data mode on remount Interestingly, this also happened and worked, which I think is a bug, how can barrier=0 and 1 at the same time? EXT4-fs (sdb1): re-mounted. Opts: user_xattr,barrier=1,barrier=0 I'm currently using a .39 kernel and can live with it for now, but I thought this was serious enough that the ext4 devs should hear about it. If you need any more information, just let me know. Thanks!
