https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201685 --- Comment #209 from Néstor A. Marchesini (nestorm_des@xxxxxxxxxxx) --- I am investigating the dates of the files and folders found by fsck.ext4 when repairing the partition and I find something surprising. # ls -l /lost+foud -rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 5051 dic 10 2013 '#1057825' drwxr-xr-x 3 portage portage 4096 dic 10 2013 '#1057827' -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2022 oct 22 03:37 '#3184673' -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 634 oct 22 03:37 '#3184674' -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1625 oct 22 03:37 '#3184675' Many lost files appear on October 22 at 3:37hs, all with the same time and the same day belonging to the root user, then a folder of December 10, 2013 belonging to the user portage group portage, for those who do not use gentoo, only say that that user and that group is only in the system in /usr/portage the contents of this folder: # ls -l /lost+found/#1057827 drwxr-xr-x 11 portage portage 4096 dic 10 2013 vba and inside that folder vba many more folders and files, all from the same ebuid of libreoffice at the end of 2013, probably from this version, when it was updated. $ genlop -t libreoffice Fri Nov 1 00:34:35 2013 >>> app-office/libreoffice-4.1.3.2 merge time: 1 hour, 9 minutes and 14 seconds. This package for years that are no longer on my pc, when upgrade libreoffice they were deleted and now fsck finds them when scanning as if they were installed and they were corrupted, but it turns out that they were erased there for a long time and now they are found as broken and put in lost+found. So pay attention to the lost+found content of your partitions, to see if they are current files or something they had long ago and had already deleted. What I do not relate is because e2fsk.ext4 starts to detect these deleted fragments. It may be the journal of ext4 or one of its unsynchronized copies that remembers things that are no longer there and retrieves them from the liberated space? My system and partitions were created on April 10, 2012 and I never had corruption problems of this type. $ genlop -t gentoo-sources |head -n3 Wed Apr 11 23:39:02 2012 >>> sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.3.1 # tune2fs -l /dev/md2 |grep "Filesystem created:" Filesystem created: Tue Apr 10 16:18:28 2012 Regards -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
