Thank you for your kind advices. However, after applying the patch, debugfs caused segfault by the following steps: # mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/sda8 # e2image /dev/sda8 test.img # debugfs -R stats -i test.img debugfs 1.44.0 (7-Mar-2018) Segmentation fault According to the following backtrace, read_bitmaps() called by ext2fs_read_inode_bitmap() reads not only inode bitmap, but also block bitmap. We would need to consider about do_inode/do_block arguments in read_bitmaps(). #0 0x00007ffff72fa61d in __memcpy_ssse3 () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x0000000000436072 in unix_read_blk64 (channel=0x6611c0, block=819227, count=<optimized out>, buf=<optimized out>) at ../../../lib/ext2fs/unix_io.c:873 #2 0x0000000000432f72 in read_bitmaps (fs=0x661030, do_inode=do_inode@entry=1, do_block=do_block@entry=0) at ../../../lib/ext2fs/rw_bitmaps.c:278 #3 0x000000000043351c in ext2fs_read_inode_bitmap (fs=<optimized out>) at ../../../lib/ext2fs/rw_bitmaps.c:395 #4 0x0000000000404105 in open_filesystem (device=0x7fffffffe298 "default.image", open_flags=open_flags@entry=172032, superblock=0, blocksize=blocksize@entry=0, catastrophic=catastrophic@entry=0, data_filename=data_filename@entry=0x0, undo_file=undo_file@entry=0x0) at ../../debugfs/debugfs.c:196 #5 0x0000000000403bb9 in main (argc=5, argv=0x7fffffffdf08) at ../../debugfs/debugfs.c:2517 Regards, Kazuya Mio
