Subject: strange fs corruptions when doing:
virtualbox-image->fuse->losetup->lvm->ext3/4 (on dm-crypted fs)
Hi.
I seem to have found some very strange problem:
Using the following system setup:
- Debian sid, except the kernel which is version 2.6.35-1~experimental.3
from experimental using a custom .config (can send in case you need).
- The system itself is fully encrypted with dm-crypt/LUKS (booting from an
USB stick), on top of it an ext4 filesystem with that Debian.
Under that Debian I've installed VirtualBox and created 4 Debian template
images, I'm going to use for server installations in the faculty
(amd64/i386 each with stable/unstable Debian).
The images are on the (dm-crypted) ext4, using the dynamic vdi format.
Each Image itself has a msdos parition table, with one partition (sda1)
and bootlader in MBR (sda).
sda1 (inside the images) are used as LVM PV with, belonging to some VG,
providing a LV which contains the root-fs for the images.
As filesystem I've used ext3 (on the stable Debians) and ext4 (on the
unstables).
Inside the VirtualBox, everything seems to be fine (especially the file
user/group owner seem to be correct, see later).
I then wanted to actually deploy the image on one server and did the
following:
- stopped the VMs
- extracted the contents of the image using virtualbox-ose-fuse):
# vdfuse -r -f image.vdi tmp/
# ls tmp/
EntireDisk Partition1
# losetup -f tmp/Partition1
# vgchange -ay
# mount /dev/vg_system/root img/
- looking around in the filesystem, e.g. creating a tarball of it or so
# ls img/var/lib
With ext3 I get the following kernel messages:

An interesting effect is, that the file-data seems to be correct (well at
least an image made of a tarball created from img/ booted), but (at least)
the user/group owners get corrupted:
Take an excerpt from ls -al img/var/lib

This should read about like that (and the user/group are correct from
inside the VirtualBox):

At a first glance it looked (when looking at UIDs/GIDs) that simply the
UID was also used as GID (the same number) which don't however correspond
to the same user/group pair.
But that turned out to be different at a 2nd try.
Any ideas? Please ask if you need additional info/etc.
Cheers,
Chris.
