Package: hurd Version: 20090404-2 Tags: patch Sometimes ext2fs crashes on startup, see http://richtlijn.be/~larstiq/hurd/hurd-2010-04-04: 22:58:10< jkoenig> there's a bug in debian/patches/ext2fs_large_stores.patch, which makes it crash on startup 22:58:34< jkoenig> namely, in get_hypermetadata() the buffer length is passed uninitialized to store_read()
On my system, the problem can be reproduced by using ext2fs on a file (see the attached typescript). Initializing 'read = 0;' before the call to store_read() fixes it. -- Jérémie Koenig <j...@jk.fr.eu.org> http://jk.fr.eu.org/
