Today we (AliciaC) found out on IRC that mounting e.g. the Hurd qemu
image under linux >3.10-x and directly unmounting it creates a corrupted
file system. The change from 3.10 to 3.11 is that the ext2 and ext3
modules are no longer built, and only the ext4 module is:
CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23=y
Seems like this module is not fully compatible with at least Hurd's ext2
images with a block size of 4k (ext3 status unknown). That's the reason
we see the enormous number of complaints when checking the disk from
Linux: multiply-claimed blocks!
It would be interesting to see if the same happens with an ext2 Linux
image or not.
So until now repairing Hurd image mounting from Linux is broke. There is
also a bug (found by gg0) related to that change, for <4MB images,
archived without being attended to or closed:
https://bugs.debian.org/731072 Maybe the problem is not only with small
images?
