Based on fs/cramfs/README, it doesn't look like cramfs images are very portable, so I'm probably just rediscovering a known problem. x86 and ia64 are both little-endian, but x86 uses 4K pages while ia64 uses 16K pages. Maybe that accounts for the problem. I also noticed that when I mount the x86 Ubuntu cramfs image on the ia64 RHEL4 box and read a file, cramfs complains about Error -3 while decompressing! a000000200521a48(1831)->e0000007fa97c000(16384) -- data corrupted on loopback-mounted cramfs image https://launchpad.net/bugs/54848 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
