Bug ID: 9746
Summary: ext4 image generated by Buildroot is not working
properly with U-Boot
Product: buildroot
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
Reporter: sebastien.szymanski at armadeus.com
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Target Milestone: ---

The ext4 image generated by Buildroot can make U-Boot crash once you wrote the image and then try to write a file into it. Notice this is hardware independent as it is reproducible on the U-Boot sandbox. See [1] for more details and the steps to reproduce it.
U-Boot works fine if the ext4 image is generated with mkfs.ext4 (Hence my patch to use mkfs.ext4 instead of genextfs [2])
