Dear ext3-users, we hit this condition in fs/ext3/inode.c:ext3_block_to_path() if (i_block < 0) { ext3_warning (inode->i_sb, "ext3_block_to_path", "block < 0"); occasionally on two identical PATA-IDE disks copied over per filesystem-rsync. What is the impact of this condition? - Kernel was 2.6.13.4, CONFIG_LBD is not set but CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y (I can provide further details, if required) - S.M.A.R.T meant everything is ok on both disks. - Machine has been rebooted and fscked (180 days without reboot). - Result of this fsck is not known. The condition didn't happen after this anymore.
