Steps to reproduce is, running LTP three test cases in sequence on x86 device. # cd ltp/runtest # cat syscalls ( only three test case) open12 open12 madvise06 madvise06 poll02 poll02 # as Dan referring to, LTP is run using '/opt/ltp/runltp -d /scratch -f syscalls', where the syscalls file has been replaced with three test case names, and /scratch is an ext4 SATA drive. /scratch is created using 'mkfs -t ext4 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-TOSHIBA_MG03ACA100_37O9KGKWF' and mounted to /scratch. Please find full test log, https://lkft.validation.linaro.org/scheduler/job/738661#L1356 And you notice dmesg log, [ 53.897001] EXT4-fs error (device sda): ext4_find_extent:909: inode #8: comm jbd2/sda-8: pblk 121667583 bad header/extent: invalid extent entries - magic f30a, entries 8, max 340(340), depth 0(0) [ 53.931430] jbd2_journal_bmap: journal block not found at offset 49 on sda-8 [ 53.938480] Aborting journal on device sda-8.
