Tso, I used fsck many times but an error as identified at a certain block and fsck was aborting with a Segment fault error. I had to fix all the errors manually (not using -p or -y), skipping this specific problem. After that I used reszie2fs -pM for just the first step. Mounting the filesystem, removing many files (which triggered the BUG), I was able to run fsck with -y many times. Anyway, the problem seems to be under control but I'm not sure. The new kernel (2.6.28.7) has a long list of ext4 errors corrected and I'm compiling it right now. Let's see what happens next :) Thanks anyway -- Andreas -----Original Message----- From: Theodore Tso <tytso@xxxxxxx> To: Andreas Friedrich Berendsen <afberendsen@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-ext4 <linux-ext4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Bcc: tytso@xxxxxxx Subject: Re: kernel BUG at fs/ext4/extents.c:2738!

It sounds like a filesystem corruption is triggering a BUG() message, which is obviously a bug in and of itself. :-) - Ted -- __________________________________________ Andreas Friedrich Berendsen SCA OCP MSCA A+ Linux+ Network+ HpMASE -- 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
