Hello reiserfs-devel, I don't know what sort of workload caused this problem, but I found these warnings in my dmesg. I am using reiser4 for /usr/portage (Gentoo Portage tree) and /usr/src and /var/tmp where compilation takes place, so presumably it's one of: rsync on lots of small files, untarring, compiling, copying files off the partition, or recursive rm. I have a hunch that these errors happened during the icedtea6 Java VM compilation, which failed with awkward "file not found" errors once, but worked on the second attempt, and the timestamp seems to agree. Whatever it was, it's gone now. Reading all files on the partition did not reproduce the warnings (using "find -xdev -type f |xargs cat -- >/dev/null"); nor did fsck.reiser4 find any problems with any of the file systems. Someone else also reported this warning back in 2006 June: http://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@xxxxxxxxxxx/msg21231.html I'm using the vanilla 2.6.26 kernel, with reiser4-for-2.6.25.patch.gz, on AMD64; reiser4 partitions are all mounted from LVM2 logical volumes on a single SATA disk. Here's the dmesg output: [1006806.639929] reiser4[scanelf(873)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:666)[]: [1006806.639931] WARNING: reiser4_write_tail failed [1006806.639939] reiser4[scanelf(873)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2332)[nikita-3233]: [1006806.639941] WARNING: Failed (-28) to convert in release_unix_file (4915530) [1006806.695995] reiser4[scanelf(873)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:666)[]: [1006806.695995] WARNING: reiser4_write_tail failed [1006806.695995] reiser4[scanelf(873)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2332)[nikita-3233]: [1006806.695995] WARNING: Failed (-28) to convert in release_unix_file (4915541) [1006806.723582] reiser4[scanelf(873)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:666)[]: [1006806.723584] WARNING: reiser4_write_tail failed [1006806.723589] reiser4[scanelf(873)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2332)[nikita-3233]: [1006806.723591] WARNING: Failed (-28) to convert in release_unix_file (4915584) [1006806.726080] reiser4[scanelf(873)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:666)[]: [1006806.726082] WARNING: reiser4_write_tail failed [1006806.726086] reiser4[scanelf(873)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2332)[nikita-3233]: [1006806.726088] WARNING: Failed (-28) to convert in release_unix_file (4915586) [1006894.003824] reiser4[scanelf(873)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:666)[]: [1006894.003826] WARNING: reiser4_write_tail failed [1006894.003834] reiser4[scanelf(873)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2332)[nikita-3233]: [1006894.003836] WARNING: Failed (-28) to convert in release_unix_file (4845576) [1006894.007824] reiser4[scanelf(873)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:666)[]: [1006894.007826] WARNING: reiser4_write_tail failed [1006894.007831] reiser4[scanelf(873)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2332)[nikita-3233]: [1006894.007832] WARNING: Failed (-28) to convert in release_unix_file (4845584) [1006894.024284] reiser4[scanelf(873)]: extent2tail (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/tail_conversion.c:666)[]: [1006894.024286] WARNING: reiser4_write_tail failed [1006894.024291] reiser4[scanelf(873)]: release_unix_file (fs/reiser4/plugin/file/file.c:2332)[nikita-3233]: [1006894.024293] WARNING: Failed (-28) to convert in release_unix_file (4845637) That's all I could think of.
