Bug#351623: linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7: breaks reiserfs
Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7
Followup-For: Bug #351623
I had the same problem. The partition was created in Woody times when
reiserfs didn't care about extended attributes. So this problem only was
showing when I tried to upgrade old directories/files.
chattrs -R = /
(read man)
This solves some problems, but it doesn't work for symlinks. In
Linux there isn't a chflags syscall (yet?) as in *BSD, and chattrs follows
symlinks.
Remounting with noattrs didn't work, but rebooting with noattrs in fstab
did it. It's worth trying it, specially if the machine is some miles/km
away and won't have local access for a while.
If extended attributes are needed, the most convenient way was pointed
out above:
reiserfsck --clean-attributes
