Subject: Re: Query FSCK Errors on ext4

Hello Stephen,

can you reproduce this on a fresh filesystem and on a system that you 
can easily update? If you can, can you update the kernel to a 
stable/recent version (i.e. longterm 3.10) and e2fsprogs to a current 
version, re-create a fresh file system and try to reproduce again? If 
you still can, can you try to figure out which order of syscalls is 
causing the corruption? Or anything else that might help to figure out 
the root cause?
In general, using a rather old kernel and user space tools and pointing 
to an issue isn't going to help you much.

Cheers,
Bernd
