https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197315 URL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1 723415 Bug ID: 197315 Summary: ext4 filesystem does not use its badblock list fully Product: File System Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 4.14.0-041400rc4.201710130854 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: ext4 Assignee: fs_ext4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: mihailov-d-v@xxxxxxx Regression: No Always, when I have /dev/sdb2 mounted, I get an errors in the system log, such as in the file dmesg.txt (attached)(there are i/o errors and something). Thus I ran fsck: { root@user:~# fsck.ext4 -fck /dev/sdb2 e2fsck 1.43.5 (04-Aug-2017) Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): 0.24% done, 0:25done /dev/sdb2: Updating bad block inode. Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Programming error? block #230376 claimed for no reason in process_bad_block. Programming error? block #230385 claimed for no reason in process_bad_block. Pass 2: Checking directory structure Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity Pass 4: Checking reference counts Pass 5: Checking group summary information /dev/sdb2: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** } But the errors did not disappear and I ran "badblocks -so ./bads-sdb2.txt -b 4096 /dev/sdb2" Then I tried "fsck.ext4 -l ./bads-sdb2.txt /dev/sdb2" and it showed, among other typical things, this: { Programming error? block #230376 claimed for no reason in process_bad_block. Programming error? block #230385 claimed for no reason in process_bad_block. } Then I ran "dump2fs -b /dev/sdb2" and found that every block from bads-sdb2.txt is already included in there, but the errors keep appear. And while I was searching for a solution, I found this: https://sourceforge.net/p/e2fsprogs/bugs/187/ I think this situation can be found on Ubuntu 16.04 too. Thank you. 1) Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch) 17.10 2) 4.13.0.15.16 ... I've tried to calculate somehow what block is on sector 50868652 and I got 6291509. Badblocks program successfully recognize this block as bad. And "dumpe2fs -b" shows it. But this block is touched again and again. And I think that means that messages "Programming error? block #?????? claimed for no reason in process_bad_block" are irrelevant to this issue. ... I used 4.14.0-041400rc4.201710130854 kernel for testing and the bug exists on it too. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
