tags 1108498 + patch thanks Hi,
I have proposed the upstream author two very simple patches, one that
unconditionally disables the use of orphan_file:
https://gitlab.com/larswirzenius/vmdb2/-/merge_requests/155/diffs
The other one introduces a control in the mkfs plugin, by which we can
specify to vmdb that we want to build targetting an old system
("target_old"), and if so, it will avoid all newer filesystem options that
might break older systems:
https://gitlab.com/larswirzenius/vmdb2/-/merge_requests/156/diffs
The disadvantage of this last patch is that existing vmdb2 recipes might
have to be updated adding the "target_old" option, but resulting systems
will have a (marginally) better filesystem.
Lars, please share your thoughts on this! I understand the project is in
"selfish maintenance state", but if possible, I prefer to avoid introducing
distro-specific patches.
Greetings!
– Gunnar.
