This bug is randomly triggered by xfstests generic/027, but here is a faster reproducer: truncate -s 50M fs.iso mkfs.hfsplus fs.iso mount fs.iso /mnt i=100 while [ $i -le 150 ]; do touch /mnt/$i &>/dev/null ((++i)) done i=100 while [ $i -le 150 ]; do mv /mnt/$i /mnt/$(perl -e "print $i x82") &>/dev/null ((++i)) done umount /mnt fsck.hfsplus -n fs.iso The bug is triggered whenever hfs_brec_update_parent() needs to split the root node. The height of the btree is not increased, which leaves the new node orphaned and its records lost.
