[SOLVED]Cannot set file attributes for '...', maybe due to incompab...

j1simon · 2022-01-06 12:25:12

Today the upgrade of "systemd", "systemd-libs" and "systemd-sysvcompat" (250.1-1) shows me these errors:

....
( 6/14) Creating temporary files...

Should I check something or can I ignore it?

The errors are shown at boot too:

0x00800000 is FS_NOCOW_FL - what is not a thing on directories.
Edit except for apparently btrfs - what also seems the only supported FS here. Otherwise you get an error.

Offender is /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/journal-nocow.conf

My root filesystem is F2FS (it's a NVMe). So, is it safe delete this file? Or is it better ignore it?

seth · 2022-01-06 16:33:23

You could shadow it in /etc/tmpfiles.d (copy and alter it)

Thanks, I also had to copy/change "/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/mariadb.conf".

I thought this had already been addressed in 250.1 by https://github.com/systemd/systemd-stab … 79ecb6d657

seth · 2022-01-06 22:23:10

It's separated but still logged, https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob … es.c#L1339

loqs · 2022-01-06 22:35:16

That would require debug logging to be enabled?

seth · 2022-01-06 22:43:08

On a second look, that line seems also to log the actual errno [edit: and uses different wording], so it's probably not the case and "r == -ENOANO" is hit.
Might be F2FS not returning the proper error and seth hits the Sarcophagus ;-)

Hi, can you explain in more detail what needs to be done?

seth · 2022-02-03 07:24:43

The error itself is harmless; systemd tries to set an attribute on a filesystem that doesn't support it.

I am on f2fs filesystem as well and 250.3 of systemd, the issue still exists, I see following output

Have you reported it to the systemd developers? https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues

For F2FS this issue from systemd seems to be related. - https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/26318
and it is a problem in filesystem rather than systemd

f2fs's behavior is intentional https://lore.kernel.org/linux-f2fs-deve … gmail.com/ please raise with them that systemd expects an error or with systemd that it is intentional.
