So I'm not sure exactly what Crashmonkey is doing here. Are you forcing a crash, or not? So here's my test which I think should replicate what you are doing. 1. Start "kvm-xfstests shell" 2. Create the fsxops file: cat > /tmp/fsxops write 0x137dd 0xdc69 0x0 fallocate 0xb531 0xb5ad 0x21446 collapse_range 0x1c000 0x4000 0x21446 write 0x3e5ec 0x1a14 0x21446 zero_range 0x20fac 0x6d9c 0x40000 keep_size <type control-d> 3. Create a scratch file system and mount it: mke2fs -Fq -t ext4 /dev/vdc mount /vdc 4. Run fsx: ./xfstests/ltp/fsx -d --replay-ops /tmp/fsxops /vdc/testfile 5. Since I'm too lazy to wait 120 seconds, just force everything to disk: sync 6a. Unmount the file system and check it: umount /vdc e2fsck -fy /dev/vdc 6b. Force a crash, and then restart kvm-xfstests shell, and then check the file system: <type control-A followed by 'x'> kvm-xfstests shell e2fsck -fy /dev/vdc In both cases, e2fsck does not complain. In the 6b variant, e2fsck will replay the journal first, but other than that, no real differences. So, tell me --- how is what I am doing any different from your Crashmonkey test? - Ted
