Chris, thanks for the prompt response. I have spent a good chunk of time looking at the tests\*.log & .failed files. If like the DOS world, anything but exit status 0 is an error, I suspect the Exit status 127's are failures. Here is a snippet from r_move_itable.failed that points to "super-block" issues: root:/sources/e2fsprogs-1.41.10/build/tests# more r_move_itable.failed --- ../../tests/r_move_itable/expect 2009-08-13 01:39:58.000000000 +0000 +++ r_move_itable.log 2010-05-05 15:22:33.000000000 +0000 @@ -1,2622 +1,28 @@ mke2fs -q -F -o Linux -b 1024 -g 256 test.img 1024 resize2fs -p test.img 10000 -Resizing the filesystem on ./test.img to 10000 (1k) blocks. -Begin pass 1 (max = 35) -Extending the inode table XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -The filesystem on ./test.img is now 9985 blocks long. - -Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes -Pass 2: Checking directory structure -Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity -Pass 4: Checking reference counts -Pass 5: Checking group summary information -test_filesys: 11/1248 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 1281/9985 blocks -Exit status is 0 +../resize/resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open ./tes t.img +Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. +Exit status is 127 ---------------------- Looking at the test script if I understand it correctly, it creates a test file system, resizes it and then checks the resulting fs. It looks like the fsck completes OK it is not clear at what open of ./test.img is resulting in the magic number error. At this point I do not have an /etc/fstab file in chroot environment. There is an empty /etc/mtab file. I do have the libmagic link libraries in /usr/lib Does this point anyone to the problem causing the 101 e2fsprogs test failures?
Again thanks for any clarity...
