Michael wrote: Partitons that did overflow the disk size (due to 32 bit int overflow) were not skipped but truncated to the end of the disk. Users who missed the warning message during boot would go on to create a filesystem with a size exceeding the actual partition size. Now that the 32 bit overflow has been corrected, such filesystems may refuse to mount with a 'filesystem exceeds partition size' error. Users should either correct the partition size, or resize the filesystem before attempting to boot a kernel with the RDB fixes in place.
