Subject: [Bug 43354] New: Corruption on a small loopback ext4 file system
with Linux 3.4
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43354
Summary: Corruption on a small loopback ext4 file system with
Linux 3.4
Product: File System
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 3.4.1
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Priority: P1
Component: ext4
AssignedTo: fs_ext4@...nel-bugs.osdl.org
ReportedBy: alecm@....com
Regression: Yes
With Linux 3.4, I am getting major corruption on a loopback ext4 filesystem:
parts of files are randomly inserted into other files.
Below are steps to reproduce - I've been able to reproduce this on two
different systems. Both have ext4 root, using a plain kernel.org 3.4.1 kernel.
The problem does not reproduce when switching back to Linux 3.3.6.
If you need any additional info, I'll be happy to provide it.
