https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199179 --- Comment #5 from Theodore Tso (tytso@xxxxxxx) --- Well, the root directory i_mode is not 0, and EXT4_ORPHAN_FS is not set. We could add an "ino == EXT4_ROOT_INO ||" to the conditional; that would work too. But if the root inode has i_links_count set to zero, we know for sure it's not a stale NFS handle referncing a deleted inode --- we know the file system must be corrupted, so calling ext4_error() is appropriate. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
