Package: general
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   I would like to wheezy work on ext4 with external-journal. But debian is not
boot.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   I did it.
1 Boot LiveCD
2 I did 2 partitions /dev/sda1 - 80GB and /dev/sdc1 - 128MB
3 mke2fs -O journal_dev -L DEBIAN /dev/sdc1
4 mkfs.ext4 -J device=/dev/sdc1 /dev/sda1
5 fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sda1
6 reboot and boot debian-install-cd
7 debian is installed on partition /dev/sda1
8 reboot ...
9 system writen:

If reboot in LiveCD
tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sda1
tune2fs -J size=128 /dev/sda1
fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sda1
reboot
wheezy to boot normaly. But /dev/sda1 have not external-journal.

P.S. Squeeze have not this problem.

ah! thanks for summarizing why this is not a bug, but rather a feature (UUIDs 
for partitions) made for this situation not being used!

see eg http://wiki.debian.org/Part-UUID or debian-user@lists.debian.org for 
more info.


cheers,
