Corrupted inode timestamps on v4.4+?

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

 



Hello,

I have noticed some files on my workstation home FS (ext4) having very 
suspicious timestamp values. This has probably started happening in April when 
the machine was running v4.4.3, but the last occurence is from a week ago on 
v4.5.6.

The corruption looks like nonsensical atime and/or mtime seconds values (see 
below). At the same time, the nanosecond portion of a corrupted time is always 
zero. In fact, the nanoseconds for mtime are all zeros for all of the affected 
files, even if the seconds part of mtime looks OK.

I can't confidently claim this is an ext4 bug, but it seems likely (there were 
no HW failures, power cuts, oopses etc. and fsck found no errors). I would be 
glad to debug this further, but currently I have no idea how to reproduce the 
corruption. Any hints are welcome.

Best regards,
Tomáš Trnka
