[arch-dev-public] kernel config change in testing
Hi new kernel in testing has: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25341 - ext4 manages now ext2/ext3 and ext4 Please report if any issues happen, here all went fine on all machines. I had not to change any config file like fstab or mkinitcpio.conf. greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org

fstab should be fine, but people who don't use the filesystem hook in mkinitcpio, but rather include the ext2 or ext3 module manually (and not ext4) might get in trouble. I don't have this setup, so I might be wrong, but it is worth keeping in mind when testing this. Cheers, Tom

mkinitcpio should resolve aliases in all those cases, I think (at least 'modinfo' resolves implicitly).

You can all go to hell for making fun of kmod -- while mit's modinfo doesn't resolve aliases, kmod's does. suck on that. EXCELSIOR! SAVED BY KMOD!!! </snarky> Yeah, we should be fine, since ext4 gains ext{2,3} as aliases with this option set. d

Why do we do config changes in bug fix releases? Can't this change be delayed until 3.3? -- Ionuț

Please revert this change. Thomas explicitly said to try this in 3.3, and you went ahead with it in 3.2.7 and broke boot on at least one user's system because this hadn't been tested with mkinitcpio yet [1]. -Dan [1] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28569
