(done) Salix 13.1 filesystem

Post by damNageHack »

dmesg wrote:EXT3-fs (sda1): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240)
EXT2-fs (sda1): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240)
EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
Maybe this can be optimized?

This is the oppinion of the author, it does not force you to share and is signed automatically.
You are free to keep them all errors for your own. Linux is the best game I ever played.

You could try adding "rootfstype=ext4" as kernel parameter.

Yes, works. Great!
I think it should be added then to standard lilo.conf of Salix 13.1 due to I got the three lines from a fresh installed one. At least if auto-installation was chosen.
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/sda1
label = Linux
read-only
addappend = "rootfstype=ext4"
# Linux bootable partition config ends

Hum sounds weird that the kernel needs this parameter...
Anyway, why not on damNageHack's proposition.

Changes needed to support this are in no relation to those messages. In fact, it would only be additional complexity bound to cause real problems at some point.
If somebody thinks he really needs to get rid of those messages, he can add the parameter himself by his own responsibility.

Therefore, I posted in "Suggestions" ...

A newbie may wonder about the three lines when done automatic installation.

Yes, and it was considered, but is unlikely to become implemented as we told you. I guess other distros also would have that "problem" with ext4 (and without initrd). Initrd might change some things.

So what? He would be told that it's harmless.

A newbie won't think about anything unless something really does not work because he won't check dmesg messages ;)

Aren't those messages gone when you make an initrd and boot the generic kernel instead?
