OOPS after deleting file on ext4 filesystem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi folks,

I just saw an ext4 oops on one of my machines after a couple months of
uptime, on Linux 3.5.2.  I doubt I will be able to reproduce the problem
easily so I'm just posting this in case anyone can tell what's going on.

Going by the timing, and the call trace, it is presumably related to the
fact that I had rm'd a ~12G file shortly before the last log entry.  The
filesystem is aged somewhat and close to full (hence why I was deleting
the file in the first place).  However, I'm not certain of the *exact*
timeline because I didn't notice that the system had crashed until the
next day.

In case it matters, fs recovery after resetting the box resulted in
hundreds of messages like:

   EXT4-fs (md127): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 12058658

I took a photo of the oops text that was on screen and posted it here:

For convenience (and the benefit of list archives), I've transcribed the
oops, but I could have easily fat-fingered something so the only the
photo is authoritative.
