Hi, While trying to open a file with a large number of extents in append mode – it resulted in the below error logs continually. I was trying to open the file in append mode, but it showed error, so I checked for the extents – it has around 2238 extents. Although, it is not repetitive, when I try on next mount and write – it is working fine at times. Also, the system does not seem to be corrupted. Since, running xfs_repair after umount does not show any errors. I am getting this on highly fragmented files. xfs_bmap /mnt/test_file: 0: [0..591]: 2429232..2429823 1: [592..1615]: 2427776..2428799 2: [1616..2639]: 2426752..2427775 3: [2640..3663]: 2425728..2426751 4: [3664..4687]: 2424704..2425727 5: [4688..5711]: 2423680..2424703 6: [5712..6735]: 2422656..2423679… … … 2364: [2420304..2421327]: 7016..8039 2365: [2421328..2422351]: 5992..7015 2366: [2422352..2423375]: 4968..5991 2367: [2423376..2424399]: 3944..4967 2368: [2424400..2425423]: 2920..3943 2369: [2425424..2426447]: 1896..2919 2370: [2426448..2863695]: 3249048..3686295 2371: [2863696..3553871]: 3686312..4376487 [ 723.020000] attempt to access beyond end of device [ 723.020000] sda1: rw=0, want=1075794104417808, limit=19551042 [ 723.028000] I/O error in filesystem ("sda1") meta-data dev sda1 block 0x3d26dd571fe08 ("xfs_trans_read_buf") error 5 buf count 4096 [ 723.040000] xfs_force_shutdown(sda1,0x1) called from line 417 of file fs/xfs/xfs_trans_buf.c.
