How do you prevent udev from trying to probe the device *before* mke2fs has a chance to run (and take the BSD file lock on the block device)? It doesn't...

E2fsck gets the information from the OS; and it doesn't know whether it's a partition or a just a device --- and technically speaking, from the user space's /dev/sda1 is...

E2fsdroid is built in the context of the Android Open Source Project. (Hence its location in contrib/android). The Android.bp files are the "makefiles" that are used by that build system....

I had sent patches to allow xfsprogs to compile using the Android toolchain and with the bionic C library. I believe all of the changes were accepted upstream --- or...

Actually, linux/uaccess.h has always existed since at least 3.10 -- and includes asm/uaccess.h. So I think the right thing to do is to just unconditionally include -#include /* copy_*_user */...

It's not failing for me, and I've double-checked the test appliance which I uploaded to kernel.org. Did you rebuild the test appliance? If so, what build environment did you use?...

It looks like the Alt key is being mapped to the mod4 (Alt/Alt-Gr) modifier in X, instead of the mod1 (Meta) modifier by default. You can test /verify this using...

You can't, basically. Fundamentally as far as the underlying kernel is concerned, you are running under a single application (GNURoot Debian's) specific uid. So chown is something that you simply...

This would require adding FUSE support into proot, which I suspect would not be trivial. The proot project would be right place to make this feature request, though.
