Reiserfs ACL problem with recent updates

A day or so ago I noticed systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service is failing on boot without any output:

● systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service - Create Volatile Files and Directories
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)

май 20 21:36:24 dimitri-pc systemd[1]: systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service failed.

I'm running reiserfs /var partition with acl option in /etc/fstab and it was definitely working when I set it up some time ago.

At the time of the attempted start of systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service, I see these in kernel log:

[ 1134.067654] REISERFS warning (device sda3): jdm-20001 reiserfs_xattr_get: Invalid magic for xattr (system.posix_acl_access) associated with [821 3964 0x0 SD]

I have extensively checked the hard drive for errors and found none.

fsck.reiserfs check on the partition found no inconsistencies. I also tried --clean-attributes and --rebuild-tree to no avail.

I noticed the issue while running linux 4.0.3-1. Downgrading to 4.0.2-1 and linux-firmware to the previous 20150410 did not help and neither did upgrading to the now latest 4.0.4-1

Any ideas?

Re: Reiserfs ACL problem with recent updates

I was unable to find a solution so eventually I converted my /var partition to ext4 and haven't had problems since.
This redditor suggests ReiserFs is not in much use anymore, so this may be some bug slipped through somewhere.
Maybe the section on ReiserFs in wiki suggesting it's "a good choice for /var" should be revised.

Re: Reiserfs ACL problem with recent updates

ACL is broken in reiserfs from Kernel 4.4.x  (Invalid argument error)
4.3.x worked fine for me...
