[RESEND]: Kernel 4.14: SQUASHFS error: unable to read xattr id index table

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This is regarding the squashfs mount failure that I am getting on my
device during boot time.
I just wanted to know if someone else has come across this issue, or
this issue is already fixed, or this is altogether a different issue?

Here are more details:
Kernel: 4.14.170 ; Qualcomm chipset (arm32 bit)
Platform: busybox
Storage: NAND 512MB
Filesystem: ubifs + squashfs
ubi0 : with 5 volumes (rootfs, usrfs, others)
Kernel command line: ro rootwait console=ttyMSM0,115200,n8
rootfstype=squashfs root=/dev/mtdblock34 ubi.mtd=30,0,30 ....

Background:
We are using ubifs filesystem with squashfs for rootfs (as ready only).
First we tried to flash "usrfs" (data) volume (ubi0_1) and it worked
fine (with device booting successfully).

Next we are trying to flash "rootfs" volume (ubi0_0) now. The volume
flashing is successful but after that when we reboot the system we are
getting below errors.

Logs:

So, we just wanted to know if this issue is related to squashfs or if
there is some issue with our volume flashing.
Note: We are using fastboot mechanism to support UBI volume flashing.

Observation:
Recently I have seen some squashfs changes related to similar issues
(xattr) so I wanted to understand if these changes are relevant to our
issue or not ?
