Re: File System Errors (Additional Data)

[Mark Kettenis <kettenis@wins.uva.nl>]

I'm beginning to suspect that Roland's fixes to the ext2fs server (to
solve the problems people were experiencing with the new
e2fsprogs 1.15) are to blame.  The

   hdxx: bas access

messages are probably caused by the fact that the ext2fs server tries
to access a nonexisting block, either because of bad filesystem
metadata, or because it doesn't interpret the data in the right way.
Roland might fix the bug eventually, but the best thing to do would be
for someone who actually is experiencing the problems to try to find
out what's wrong.  Either by debugging the filesystem or by carefully
inspecting the code and comparing it with an older version that
doesn't have the change associated with the 1999-08-23 ChangeLog
entry.
