https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15806 Summary: Kernel Panic or Kernel becomes unstable with encrypted drives (TrueCrypt) Product: File System Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: linux kernel 2.6.34-999-generic (Ubuntu mainline Kernel) Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: ext4 AssignedTo: fs_ext4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: no-spam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No Created an attachment (id=26040) --> (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=26040) Includes kern.log, linux-image.crash-log and file with system information * Overview: More detailed restatement of summary. I have 2 encrypted drives, the Kernel becomes unstable or I get Kernel Panic when I'm using one of this drives. This means, if I try to copy files from one encrypted drive to another I get in the most cases Kernel Panic after a short time. If accessing more than one application files from an encrypted drive, I get often the message that the system might become unstable and I need to reboot because I can't access the encrypted drive any more. The same when I try to force a file system check with fsck, I get every time the message that the system might become unstable. * Steps to Reproduce: Minimized, easy-to-follow steps that will trigger the bug. Include any special setup steps. The easiest way to reproduce is to check the file system with fsck: 1) Mount the volume with the TrueCrypt GUI (check under "Filesystem: Do not mount") 2) Force file check with "sudo fsck -f /dev/mapper/truecrypt1" 3) After a short while I get a new icon in the tray with the message "Your system might become unstable now and might need to be restarted." * Actual Results: What the application did after performing the above steps. The Kernel becomes unstable (Your system might become unstable now and might need to be restarted.) and I can't access the drive until reboot. * Expected Results: What the application should have done, were the bug not present. fsck should check the mapped drive and should fix errors if any. * Build Date & Platform: Date and platform of the build in which you first encountered the bug. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 beta with mainline Kernel. * Additional Builds and Platforms: Whether or not the bug takes place on other platforms (or browsers, if applicable). The last Kernel without problems was 2.6.28.8 (Ubuntu 9.04), all newer Kernels crashing my system. * Additional Information: Any other useful information. I'm using TrueCrypt 6.3a, AES Encryption and the drives are formatted with ext4. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- 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
