Please do some triage on the failure to identify the source of the corruption that trigger this failure. If you are going to run some scripted tool to randomly corrupt the filesystem to find failures, then you have an ethical and moral responsibility to do some of the work to narrow down and identify the cause of the failure, not just throw them at someone to do all the work. You can automate this - track the corruptions you add to the filesystem image, then when you have an image that reproduces a problem, iterate over it removing corruptions until you have just the minimum set of changes in the image that reproduce the issue. Then you can cull all the images that trip over the same corruptions and only report the actual corruption that causes the problem. Then list those corruptions in the bug report so that we don't have to do all this triage ourselves to weed out all the duplicates and noise that all the random corruptions that don't cause crashes induce. -Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
