[gentoo-user] fsck inode warnings

[Zhu Sha Zang]

Helo there, since a while, every time that i use something like "shutdown -Fr 
now" i receive messages like that: 


/dev/sda3: Inode 655658 extent tree (at level 2) could be narrower.  IGNORED.
/dev/sda3: Inode 660107 extent tree (at level 1) could be narrower.  IGNORED.
/dev/sda3: Inode 661292 extent tree (at level 2) could be narrower.  IGNORED.
/dev/sda3: Inode 661848 extent tree (at level 2) could be narrower.  IGNORED.
/dev/sda3: Inode 662317 extent tree (at level 2) could be narrower.  IGNORED.
/dev/sda3: Inode 662337 extent tree (at level 1) could be narrower.  IGNORED.
/dev/sda3: Inode 662648 extent tree (at level 1) could be narrower.  IGNORED.
/dev/sda3: Inode 664488 extent tree (at level 1) could be narrower.  IGNORED.
/dev/sda3: Inode 666102 extent tree (at level 1) could be narrower.  IGNORED.
/dev/sda3: Inode 671956 extent tree (at level 2) could be narrower.  IGNORED.

What the meaning of this. I was unable to find something useful to explain 
these "errors". I already boot with systemrescuecd and run fsck -f manually, 
but the warning still appearing.

Best regards

I was wondering about that, but it did work before, so I thought I would
ask on here to check.

You're welcome.

The
ENV{ID_PART_ENTRY_UUID}=="?*",
SYMLINK+="disk/by-partuuid/$env{ID_PART_ENTRY_UUID}"
udev rule creates symlinks under "/dev/disk/by-partuuid/".

There's no need for findmnt :)

This has nothing to do with Java. It's JavaScript which bears zero
relation to Java apart from the 3 letters j, v (twice) and a showing up
in the name.

JavaScript is a cute name coined by Netscape way back in the 90s to cash
in on the java craze when Sun released 1.0

re-emerge texinfo, it provides the XSParagraph libs.

You could also try

perl-cleaner --all

just in case there are other similar issues with other packages.
perl-cleaner might be able to find and repair those.


Basically, texinfo was installed then a new version of perl was
installed, and they do not match (that's what the handshake is for).

I suppose this sort of issue is best handled with dependencies in the
texinfo ebuild itself. Probably warrants a bug entry if re-emerging
texinfo fixes it

I was just able to install it::
Installed versions:  6.2.1(09:59:02 AM 06/27/2016)(npm snapshot 
ssl -debug -doc -icu -test CPU_FLAGS_X86="sse2" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7")

So it's probably an issue on your system.

Security reading suggest that 6.3.0 is out, so I'd file a bug at bgo
to 'version bump' it anyway.


First, look at the ebuild as the install procedure is quite long
for an ebuild. So that means there are plenty of place where compiling
can go wrong. Looking at the ebuild flow of control and correlating the
issues in the elog file helps you to comprehend the steps and particularly
hone in on where the compile fail occurred.

Go to the build dir and look at the intermediate files for issues,
permission etc etc.

As one with deep christian values, since early childhood, I am
a sucker for those in need. Yes, sometimes it is often total BS,
but most often, not. Sometimes it is easier to help this sort of
person, locally. But the 'reach out' to total strangers across the
net is often valid. Too hard to tell. Often that caustic tone
is a reflection of deep pain, just like a wounded animal down to
their last instinct to 'lash out'.  Then there is Nietzsche and that
school of thought.

You'd hope that someone local to him is helping him sort through these
issues.  Maybe volunteer work (at his keyboard) to help others
would be some good therapy..

No matter how you slice it, it's painful to read.

Did you run perl-updater after upgrading perl?


equery which -e app-misc/screen
will show you the latest ebuild; it's mostly shell.

'elogv' is very useful as an add to drill down into
elog files, with a wee bit of auto-intelligence.

This is no fun. I can tell you. And it is not neccessarily
your own fault. Although Alans posts give rise to the
suspicion that it is, it also may be the other way round.

Once when you're stuck to it, you can be as smart as you
want, you have harldy any chance to escape it or at least to
stop it progressing. The only good thing is that you're so
busy with yourself that you have no time to notice how deep
you're into it already. Believe me, it's anything but fair.
And it's not possible to explain it to anybody who hasn't
experienced it himself.

It's wrong to judge if you haven't experienced it. You won't
judge if you have experienced it. I beware of criticising
Alan and I know why I do so and why I will do so for the
rest of my life. It's not a beam that is in Alan's eye.
