Hi all


Just found out that squashfs panics when compiled in statically instead of
as a module, when mounting an sqf file. The sequence I did was:


# mkdir /mnt/gaia-ro

# mount /gaiarule.sqf /mnt/gaia-ro -t squashfs -o loop

Maybe it is of importance that the sqf file is located in the initramfs. The
kernel was panicking reliably with different sqf files, on different
hardware upon the mount command, with "unable to handle kernel paging
request". This was on 3.18.5. As soon as I compiled squashfs as a modules,
the problem went away.

If you need further details, please cc me directly, as I unsubscribed from
the list due to not being able to handle the massive load.

What about sharing the actual kernel panic? :-)

Well, I will, if somebody bothers to actually look at it. Takes me some time to set everything up again for it. And it would be nice if you could cc me directly in the reply, as already mentioned, I'm not on the list and this copy-paste stuff from marc.info is a bit a nuisance.

Bye
Tim
