There have been a huge number of bug fixes since 2.6.32, and no one has been really backporting patches to such an ancient kernel. This is one of the ways in which Debian Obsolete^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Stable can be somewhat of a disadvantage. Unlike the RHEL kernels, no one is backporting ext4 bugfixes to older Debian stable kernels, and ext4 was still getting a lot of bug fixes in the 2.6.32 days. That being said, you're seeing some pretty severe inode *and* block allocation bitmap problems, and that doesn't sound like anything I remember even back in the 2.6.32 days. It does make me wonder about the stability of the hardware and of the software raid code... - Ted -- 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
