            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])
