Title:
Dapper: persistent boot failure - ext3 filesystem not detected
Status in “klibc” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “klibc” source package in Dapper:
Invalid
Bug description:
In the fstype tool there is a problem if the lower 16 bit of number of
free inodes in a ext3 filesystem happens to match minix filesystem
magic.
This will cause the system not to boot since ubuntu will attempt to
mount the filesystem as a minix filesystem.
This problem has been discussed before, but the cause was never
investigated, e.g.:
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-95729.html
Stupid workaround:
mount /dev/sda1 /root
touch /root/newfile
sync
