1 Hi,
2
3 as I've been just be bitten by this, I'd like to warn you.
4
5 My root partition has an ext4 FS while other partitions use BTRFS.
6 But the bug shown below seems to be related to the ext4 FS on my
7 root partition.
8
9 I've just tried to install the 12.6.37-gentoo-r2 kernel.
10 make modules_installed
11 told me, some modules were invalid.
12
13 Stepping back to sys-apps/coretuils-8.9
14 fixed the problem, though coreutils-8.10
15 doesn't seem to be buggy.
16
17 It's related to a bug in btrfs and ext4 which is
18 revealed by sys-apps/coreutils-8.10
19
20 While the btrfs bug seems to be fixed in 2.6.38-rc7
21 the ext4 bug is not fixed, yet (AFAIK)
