problems with emerge perl-5.8.3

[thwint]

Hi all,
when i try to emerge perl i receive the following error:

Code: Select all

!!! ERROR: There appears to be FILE SYSTEM CORRUPTION. A file that is listed
!!!        as existing is not capable of being stat'd. If you are using an
!!!        experimental kernel, please boot into a stable one, force an fsck,
!!!        and ensure your filesystem is in a sane state. 'shutdown -Fr now'
!!!       
root File:  /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.3/image/usr/share/man/man3/Hash::Util.tmp
!!!        Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.3/image/usr/share/man/man3/Hash::Util.tmp'

I'm running kernel 2.4.22-r4 and already tried to shutdown -Fr now as recommended. I also removed the whole directory in /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.3. Nothing solved the problem. The same problem occured on an other system, but suddenly after many emerges it compiled through. It is always with Hash::Util.tmp never with any other files.

Hi,
I had the same problem on my systems. It appears to be related to a bug on the ext3 filesystem and the latest kernels. I think that the problem is also connected to the /var directory and the how ext3 searches big directory trees.

This is how I solved

- I booted with a live CD so that my HD partitions are not mounted (systemrescue live CD is good for this job, but maybe the gentoo live cd is also useful)
- I tuned my root ext3 partition (that's where /var is located in my systems) with the command
tune2fs ^dir_index /dev/<my rootpartition>
this disables optimized binary trees search
- I rebooted into my native gentoo installation
- I re-emerged perl
- Booted again with live CD
- Re-activated binary trees with
tune2fs dir_index /dev/<my rootpartition>

Hope it works for you too

I get the same error with reiserfs!
Any ideas how to proceed with this filesystem?

thanks

Am I dong something wrong here, why is it giving me all the options insted of just disabling binary trees like it is supos to?

sh-2.05b# tune2fs ^dir_index /dev/hda3
tune2fs 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
Usage: tune2fs [-c max-mounts-count] [-e errors-behavior] [-g group]

Please help me out, i cant really compile anything withount this

[Kokkor_Hekkus]

You (or me) forgot the otion -O.

It should be
tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/hda3

The same when you re-enable dir_index.

Bye
