Hello LKML, Second repost of "BUG: Killing and reviving files with USB disks", this time also destined to linux-fsdevel. This is a reproducible demonstration of the problem initially reported in my first e-mail, titled "PROBLEM: 'bio too big device' after moving to a USB disk" (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/7/657) Summary: 01. Create LVM volume; initialize dm-crypt; initialize reiserfs; mount 02. Populate the disk with files; sync; flush caches 03. Confirm that the files are still readable and non-corrupt (sha1sum) 04. Migrate logical volume to USB disk; sync; flush caches 05. Confirm that ALL PREVIOUSLY VERIFIED FILES ARE CORRUPT 06. Observe "bio too big device dm-0 (256 > 240)" messages in dmesg 07. Run reiserfsck to check for corruptions -- none. 08. Migrate logical volume back to SATA disk; sync; flush caches 09. Confirm that files are readable and non-corrupt again 10. Clean up Environment/configuration: * Linux non 2.6.19-gentoo-r6 #1 Wed Feb 28 20:55:24 EET 2007 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux * USB disk 120GB Western Digital, model 00UE-00KVT0 (according to udev), serial DEF10CD7F64C * Older SATA disk 200GB Seagate 7200.7, model ST3200822AS * Motherboard Asus A8N5X, nForce4 chipset * Offending file system: reiserfs v3.6, mounted with noatime,barrier=flush * dm-crypt using aes-256 with cbc-essiv:sha256; using assembly-optimized AES on x86_64 (CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_X86_64) * Test partition is 68 extents times 16MiB = 1088 MiB large (that's the largest I could allocate while remaining in one segment -- otherwise lvmove wouldn't move the partition back to /dev/sda5 after "defragmenting" it.) * LVM utilities version: 2.02.17 (2006-12-14) * LVM library version: 1.02.12 (2006-10-13) * LVM driver version: 4.10.0 * cryptsetup-luks 1.0.4 (user space interface to dm-crypt) Involved block devices: * /dev/sda: My old SATA disk. * /dev/sda5: The LVM partition on the old disk. * /dev/sdb: The new offending USB disk; whole disk is used as an LVM physical volume. * /dev/primary: LVM volume group 'primary', consisting of /dev/sdb and /dev/sda5 * /dev/primary/punchbag: LVM volume 'punchbag' for demonstration purposes. * /dev/mapper/crypt-punchbag: The dm-crypt "decrypted" loopback device. ---- 00.
