Description Morgan Leijström 2012-04-29 22:26:50 CEST

I booted current boot-iso 32 bit from one USB stick, and had another empty NTFS-3G formatted USB stick in it to recieve the report.bug file.
 
When it had problem finding SATA drive (bug 5667) i issued bug, selected the target USB drive and then it responded:

mounting partition /dev/sdb1 in directory /fd failed.

Fortunately it seem to suceed to store on floppy.

Unfortunately i now have given up after banged my head a half hour at getting the floppy to work (see mess in bug 4642) on the running cauldron on this the only machine i have that have a floppy in, so i can read it back...

Else i would have attached that file.

Comment 2 Dave Hodgins 2012-04-30 21:38:32 CEST

Looking at the report.bug,
* running: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /fd
/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g: error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2

Looks like package libfuse2 is missing from the stage 2.

It would probably have worked if sdb1 were formatted ext2.

Yes.

Comment 6 Morgan Leijström 2012-05-08 00:20:31 CEST

This seem not yet propagated to the boot.iso i downloaded right now.

Comment 7 Morgan Leijström 2012-05-08 00:42:42 CEST

...or wherever bug is located, i tried it after stage 2 had loaded.

Comment 8 Thierry Vignaud 2012-05-09 08:49:19 CEST

You didn't purged stage2 from urpmi-proxy cache, did you?

Comment 9 Morgan Leijström 2012-05-09 11:10:45 CEST

You really keep track on me! :)
No this was before purging, so it used an old stage2.

Want me to retest?

Comment 10 Thierry Vignaud 2012-05-09 11:14:46 CEST

Just to be sure the fix is OK

Comment 11 Morgan Leijström 2012-05-09 12:32:52 CEST

I try tomorrow.

Comment 12 Morgan Leijström 2012-05-13 13:41:12 CEST

Sorry, still does not work with stage2 fetched from a tier1 mirror right now.

report.bug - via ext4 USB stick

I tried and failed putting it on a NTFS-3g formatted stick.
(probably formatted using mga1 or mandriva diskdrake a year ago or so...)
Then i dumped this one it on a ext4 formatted stick.
Before both instance i had pulled the boot-iso stick out.

Still fail mounting.
Attach report.bug put on ext4 stick after failing NTFS-3G stick.
The NTFS-3G stick works perfectly on mga1.

Comment 18 Morgan Leijström 2012-05-17 11:33:10 CEST

The boot.iso i used fresh from download page is still the same (md5sum)
but the stage2/mdkinst.sqfs was a new version fetched during test.

Comment 19 Marja Van Waes 2012-05-26 13:04:11 CEST

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Comment 20 Dave Hodgins 2012-05-28 00:40:12 CEST

Not fixed in Mageia 2 final. The ntfs-3g package is not in stage 2.

However, as this is an installer bug, this should stay assigned to cauldron
for Mageia 3.

OK, I just tested, the problem is that we need to manually load the 'fuse' module
