Hi, the errors at the end of this mail come from one of my test boxes booted with latest Linus: 8f4dd16603ce ("Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)") + tip/master. A second boot into the same kernel says: [ 5.427329] EXT4-fs (sda5): warning: mounting fs with errors, running e2fsck is recommended [ 5.435681] EXT4-fs (sda5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Quota mode: disabled. ... [ 316.621377] EXT4-fs (sda5): error count since last fsck: 14 [ 316.621645] EXT4-fs (sda5): initial error at time 1651146136: ext4_update_backup_sb:165 [ 316.621948] EXT4-fs (sda5): last error at time 1651146136: ext4_update_backup_sb:165 And it used to work fine with rc3: EXT4-fs (sda5): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Quota mode: disabled. so before I go and fsck the partition, I thought I should report it first - maybe something new in ext4 land is not behaving as it should...
