[Bug 453579] Re: in-place corruption of large files *without fsck or reboot* reported with linux 2.6.31-14.46 on ext4

 

@era: Unfortunately I won't edit this bug's title nor reopen it due to
reasosn mentioned in comment 215 which refers to comment 206. You should
report your issue to Launchpad against the linux package. You can do so
by running the following command from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and it will automatically gather
and attach debug information to that report:

ubuntu-bug linux

Please try to provide as much information as possible in the bug
description:

    1) The majority of kernel bug are hardware specific so be sure to note what hardware/device is being used.
    2) Document any known steps to reproduce the bug.
    3) Also note whether the bug exists in previous kernel versions of Ubuntu or if it's a regression from previous kernel versions.
    4) Finally, it will help if you can test the latest development Ubuntu kernel version as well as the latest upstream mainline kernel[1].

Bug description:
  There are worrying reports of filesystem corruption on ext4 in karmic.
  Scott says:

  12:36 < Keybuk> this whole ext4 thing is worrying me
  12:36 < Keybuk> I just downloaded an iso image, md5sum didn't match
  12:36 < Keybuk> downloaded it into an ext3 partition, matched just fine
  12:59 < Keybuk> and I know mvo has seen bugs with corrupted .debs in /var/cache/apt/archives
  12:59 < Keybuk> which seems to imply its any file large enough to use lots of extents

  I'm opening this bug report so that this bug gets tracked & triaged
  for karmic.  If we're unable to isolate the issue, we should consider
  rolling back to ext3 as the default filesystem in the installer.
