From a9825c06b8fc6cb2e18f28dc2aca4a0281b0458f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yann E. MORIN" Date: Tue, 28 May 2013 00:33:35 +0000 Subject: fs/ext2: explicitly set a NULL UUID "tune2fs -U clear" creates an invalid filesystem, that fsck.ext2 whines about later: $ make rootfs-ext2 [--SNIP--] $ ./host/usr/sbin/fsck.ext4 images/rootfs.ext2 e2fsck 1.42.7 (21-Jan-2013) Filesystem did not have a UUID; generating one. images/rootfs.ext2: clean, 4616/5120 files, 53171/131072 blocks $ ./host/usr/sbin/fsck.ext4 -f images/rootfs.ext2 e2fsck 1.42.7 (21-Jan-2013) One or more block group descriptor checksums are invalid. Fix? yes Group descriptor 0 checksum is 0x4131, should be 0x8bdb. FIXED. [--SNIP--] So we set an explicitly NULL UUID instead. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
