Apparently, d-i [Debian-installer] complains about being unable
to set the test file executable and causes the error when 1 is
returned.
Notwithstanding, I manually verified that I am able to touch a
file and set it +x executable.

Furthermore, tricking the function return value to 0 I am able
to make d-i continue with the latest SFRN5 installation (see
[*trick*] below); yet, subsequently halts again with
an apparently related error --can not proceed any further.

Digging deeper with dmesg, we can see that apparently it is the
kernel which cannot 'read' properly. Please find a partial
dmesg log with relevant output
from an attempt on my physical development machine.

Hello.

This is because of VFS changes in Linux-5.10.X.
Specifically, because of the following patch:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/17/174
In the upstream git repository it is commit
4d03e3cc59828c82ee89ea6e2

So, Christoph, what to do now for file systems which implement
->read() method of file operations?


*deafening silence* it appears that -- in the best of cases --
Christoph engaged in an act of _iter masturbation [1];
and in the worst of cases, the gentleman was aiming straight at
reiser4.


... It seems that chroot doesn't work
for them. And people are not able to

Hello.

This is because of VFS changes in Linux-5.10.X.
Specifically, because of the following patch:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/17/174
In the upstream git repository it is commit 4d03e3cc59828c82ee89ea6e2

So, Christoph, what to do now for file systems which implement
->read() method of file operations?


*deafening silence* it appears that -- in the best of cases -- Christoph 
engaged in an act of _iter masturbation [1];
and in the worst of cases, the gentleman was aiming straight at reiser4.


... It seems that chroot doesn't work
for them. And people are not able to release distros with upgraded
kernels..


Not only 'chroot doesn't work' for us, but even after replacing the kernel

Niltze [Здравствуйте : Hello], Ed-

I built Linux kernel 5.10.1-1 within the 'Debian way' -- as usual -- to 
generate a kernel component for my Debian-Installer (d-i).
The patch I applied is reiser4-for-5.10-rc3.patch.gz from v5-unstable.

Once I built the proper reiser4progs-2.0.4.tar.gz and generated one set of 
components for d-i I built the d-i image.

Fact is, the installer throws an error in *both* bare metal and VirtualBox

Apparently, d-i [Debian-installer] complains about being unable to set the test 
file executable and causes the error when 1 is returned.
Notwithstanding, I manually verified that I am able to touch a file and set it 
+x executable.

Furthermore, tricking the function return value to 0 I am able to make d-i 
continue with the latest SFRN5 installation (see [*trick*] below); yet, 
subsequently halts again with
an apparently related error --can not proceed any further.

Digging deeper with dmesg, we can see that apparently it is the kernel which 
cannot 'read' properly. Please find a partial dmesg log with relevant output
from an attempt on my physical development machine.

Hello.

This is because of VFS changes in Linux-5.10.X.
Specifically, because of the following patch:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/17/174
In the upstream git repository it is commit 4d03e3cc59828c82ee89ea6e2

So, Christoph, what to do now for file systems which implement
->read() method of file operations? It seems that chroot doesn't work
for them. And people are not able to release distros with upgraded
kernels..

Thanks,
Edward.
