Hi all,

After merging the ntfs3 tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

fs/ntfs3/super.c: In function 'ntfs_init_from_boot':
fs/ntfs3/super.c:951:9: error: ignoring return value of 'sb_min_blocksize' declared with attribute 'warn_unused_result' [-Werror=unused-result]

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Caused by commit

c1b61f715e4d ("ntfs: set dummy blocksize to read boot_block when mounting")

Exposed by commit

from the vfs-brauner-fixes tree.

I have reverted that commit from the ntfs3 tree for today.

Hello,

Thanks for the report and for reverting it. I’ll prepare a fix for this issue.

Regards,
Konstantin
