This was reported in Fedora, since the livecd creator does a lot of resizing. If we've moved the journal blocks during resize (likely now, due to the journal being in the middle) the backup blocks don't get updated, and a subsequent e2fsck will find issues: e2fsck 1.41.6 (30-May-2009) Backing up journal inode block information. Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information /mnt/test/img: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** /mnt/test/img: 11/16000 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 17789/38400 blocks This can be shown in a simple test: # dd if=/dev/zero of=img bs=1 count=0 seek=3000M # mke2fs -t ext4 -F img # resize2fs img 150M # e2fsck -f img (thanks to the Fedora reporter Mads Kiilerich! https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506105#c2) The following is just rough; I'd at least move it to a helper function, and needs some error checking. But it does fix it. Question is, should I do it unconditionally, or only if the journal inode got moved? Doing it conditionally would require a bit more work to sort out whether it's been moved. Or, I could just compare the two and overwrite it if they differ, vs actually walking the backup blocks and see if any are off the end of the filesystem... what seems best?
