[Gentoo] Disappearing ext2/ext3 filesystems
Feb 3rd, 2010 by Michael Skiba
Sometime in the past few days I discovered that my media partition wasn’t mounted anymore (ext3 FS). Also my root partition (ext4 FS) wasn’t listed under /dev/ anymore.
The only clue I got was from /var/log/messages:
EXT3-fs: sda2: couldn’t mount because of unsupported optional features (240).
It seems that udev >= 150 doesn’t like the deprecated sysfs stuff very much (apparently it took over it functions).
To keep it short: I had to uncheck the kernel modules SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 (also you should uninstall SYSFS_DEPRECATED), rebuild and install the kernel and everything worked again
