http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12821 ------- Comment #2 from ddi@xxxxxxxx 2009-03-05 09:46 ------- It continually spews messages in syslog while it's powered on, but that's not exactly "reproduction" I guess. Tried to find the inode in question with debugfs, it said that this particular inode does not belong to any file - maybe because the inode contains filesystem metadata, not file data? Anyhow, no useful output - probably in no small part because I have no clue what I'm doing with debugfs ;-) New kernel: Okay, upgraded to the latest available Ubuntu Server kernel. Had to yank the power; the sync would never finish (vmstat says it synced about 1kB/s). Looks like the filesystem is also super-slow for some reason. (Possible that a logging daemon was putting error messages in the buffer cache while the sync got farther and farther behind trying to sync those, not sure. Did kill all loggers at one point, but didn't help much. Hmm.) It came up with the new kernel, did a fsck, which finished off with "fsck died with exit status 1". Will try e2image in a moment.. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- 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
