Bug#336153: Filesystem curruption
Hello,
On the surface I have encountered a problem that looks similar to this
bug:
* High file system load.
* init_special_inode: bogus i_mode messages.
* No obvious sign of hardware IO error or drive error
(unfortunately drive doesn't support SMART)
However, some significant differences exist:
* reiserfs not ext3.
* not DM or RAID.
* USB drive.
* 2.6.10-5-386 with ubuntu.
I apologize if this bug is unrelated. I think it might be...
Running the reiserfsck program seems to indicate serious file system
curruption issues exist.
See attached file.
It surprises me that a journaled filesystem can get into such a big
mess. Hence I suspect the curruption might be happening at the block
device layer, and unrelated to filesystem.
I do not yet know if I can reproduce this on demand.
I am not running knfs or any other NFS server (contrary to log
messages).
