I also didn't recall your earlier complaint until I did an search of my mail archives. The main problem is that we don't have an easy reproduction case. It's not a problem which has been showing up on any of my testing. Earlier you had said that this happened after a read-only snapshot, so I had assumed it was an DM issue. But you say this time it's not happening without a snapshot. OK, how frequently does this happen? How easily can you reproduce it? Can you do it pretty much on demand? And are the numbers *always* the same? > > Running: Fsck -D -f -v -p, results in: > Can you run this command instead? e2fsck -f /dev/XXXX And send me the output? The -p overrides the -f option, so it wasn't doing a full fsck check. It should have done a full check if the file system was marked as containing an error, regardless of the -p, but there was a bug that was fixed in 3.5-rc1 which prevented that. I'm at a loss to explain why you were still seeing problem in 3.5-rc1 --- was the fsck log from after running a kernel running 3.5-rc1? In any case, please do a full fsck using "e2fsck -f /dev/XXX" and send me the output from that command.
