...I haven't noticed before, but before that message few more lines where recorded, which makes sense with the BUG line. Also, running fsck.ext4 on that filesystem I always got a Segment fault at an specific point, which it is impossible to fix. I'm in a process to remove files from that filesystem, as soon it finish I can run fsck again and send the result. Meanwhile, when removing files, rm stuck at a certain inode, which caused the first BUG message. -- Andreas /* output from rm */ removed `#208971861/HardDisks/fedora_9_i386_03.vdi' removed `#208971861/HardDisks/freebsd_i386_7.1-rc1.vdi' removed `#208971861/HardDisks/fedora_10_i386_02.vdi' removed directory: `#208971861/HardDisks' removed `#208971861/VirtualBox.xml' removed directory: `#208971861' ^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C /* from /var/log/messages just before the BUG message */ Feb 20 18:27:13 storage kernel: EXT4-fs error (device dm-4): ext4_ext_find_extent: bad header in inode #208971873: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 1, max 340(0), depth 0(1) Feb 20 18:27:13 storage kernel: EXT4-fs error (device dm-4): ext4_ext_find_extent: bad header in inode #208971873: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 1, max 340(0), depth 0(1) Feb 20 18:27:13 storage kernel: EXT4-fs error (device dm-4): ext4_ext_find_extent: bad header in inode #208971873: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 1, max 340(0), depth 0(1) Feb 20 18:27:13 storage kernel: EXT4-fs error (device dm-4): ext4_ext_find_extent: bad header in inode #208971873: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 1, max 340(0), depth 0(1) Feb 20 18:27:13 storage kernel: EXT4-fs error (device dm-4): ext4_ext_find_extent: bad header in inode #208971873: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 1, max 340(0), depth 0(1) Feb 20 18:27:13 storage kernel: EXT4-fs error (device dm-4): ext4_ext_find_extent: bad header in inode #208971873: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 1, max 340(0), depth 0(1) Feb 20 18:27:13 storage kernel: EXT4-fs error (device dm-4): ext4_ext_find_extent: bad header in inode #208971873: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 1, max 340(0), depth 0(1) Feb 20 18:27:13 storage kernel: EXT4-fs error (device dm-4): ext4_ext_find_extent: bad header in inode #208971873: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 1, max 340(0), depth 0(1) Feb 20 18:27:13 storage kernel: EXT4-fs error (device dm-4): ext4_ext_find_extent: bad header in inode #208971873: unexpected eh_depth - magic f30a, entries 1, max 340(0), depth 0(1) -----Original Message----- From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@xxxxxxxxxx> To: Andreas Friedrich Berendsen <afberendsen@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-ext4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: kernel BUG at fs/ext4/extents.c:2738!

Can you reproduce this? Perhaps we can reproduce it from an e2image as well if so, then it could be investigated .... (Or, if you can reproduce it, perhaps try a .29 kernel first) - Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
