Message-ID: <CAPweEDyUJZ8ggm0zhMquKNM6Kd-ejjUXrCMR3TnJngukSHAFkw@mail.gmail.com> Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2011 13:15:36 +0100 From: Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <luke.leighton@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: corrupted ext4 1000gb filesystem (2.6.32, debian stable) folks, hi, i set up a 1000gb RAID1 mirrored filesystem, possibly in a foolish way (multiple external USB drives) and had not added a fsck check to the script which dynamically assembles the drives. naively and yet happily i followed this advice, here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/06/msg02164.html the problem was that uh, yeah, the ext4 filesystem _did_ end up getting massively corrupted, very very quickly (within weeks), and i don't entirely know how. at approx 50% filled, i carried out another copy operation of several tens of thousands of files (backup of a system with about 10gb usage) and it was these files and directories that had the worst level of filesystem corruption. so my question is: has anyone else encountered significant filesystem corruption of large (1000gb+) ext4 filesystems, with any *recent* 2.6 linux kernels? tia, l. p.s. yes fsck has now been added to the drive assembly script, but i am not yet filled with confidence that everything will be hunky-dory. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
