[Bug 1187214] Re: "ext4-fs error" -- Ubuntu upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 corrupted filesystems (ext4 corruption bug)

 

Kristian Erik Hermansen, this bug was reported a while ago and there
hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is
still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest
development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release (installed or live) from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc6

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

** Tags added: needs-kernel-logs needs-upstream-testing regression-
potential

Title:
  "ext4-fs error" -- Ubuntu upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 corrupted
  filesystems (ext4 corruption bug)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04.
  Apparently, Ubuntu likes to corrupt my data. My configuration has
  4xHDD in RAID0 using ecryptfs of user data only. 70% into the upgrade
  process using the recommended GUI upgrade option, the process failed,
  the ext4 file-system became corrupted and all data was lost.
  Eventually, my kernel crashed shortly afterwards and rebooted. I was
  able to snap a quick photo, but it is only the last page of the
  errors....
