Bug#1039883: linux-image-6.3.0-1-amd64: ext4 corruption with symlinks
Package: linux-image-6.3.0-1-amd64
Version: linux-image-6.3.0-1-amd64
Severity: important

Hello
I've stored data on a USB external hard drive using ext4 over LUKS2 and I'm getting the following error:
kernel: EXT4-fs error (device dm-11): ext4_map_blocks:607: inode #8159552: block 959787320: comm git-annex:w: lblock 0 mapped>
I then stumbled upon that kernel bug [1] which matches my case as git-annex is making heavy use of symlinks. However I've faced this issue on the kernel 6.3.0 (linux-image-6.3.0-1-amd64 version 6.3.7-1) so it doesn't look to be actually addressed.
I've got 3 disks, 2 HDDs and 1 SSD, and oddly the failure only happens on the HDD, the SSD is running fine.
After reformatting my HDD without the inline_data feature, the issue has disappeared.
