https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89621 --- Comment #3 from Theodore Tso <tytso@xxxxxxx> --- Well, was this a one-time thing or can you easily reproduce this error? The problem is that almost anything can cause this --- bad memory, a wild pointer derference coming from a proprietary video driver from Nvidia, etc. And by the time we get the ext4-error, basically what we have is the dead body lying in the alley. Where the bullet came from, and from what direction, and who fired the gun, is not something that will be immediately evident; just that we have a very specific kind of inconsistency between the allocation bitmap and the block group summary statistics. So in order to track it down, we need to be able to try to isolate causes. So for example, does the problem show up if you use the latest bleeding edge kernel from mainline, etc. -- 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
