Re: [Bug 1345682] Re: fsck on 24TB ext4 keeps crashing

 

I am not familiar with the tool, but I was concerned about the
file/directory names. I can look into the -s option
and might be doable. I am still without a working chassis that can handle
as many harddrives I have. I have
a new motherboard and card. I was able to find online other people having
similar problems w/fsck unable to
clean > 16TB. Is that problem considered fixed and in the mainline?  It
will help me prioritize this.

  fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
  I can't get my ext4 24TB to fsck clean. there came a whole bunch of file stat problems after a clean reboot.
  I tried 3 times so far, and each does something like segfault. I looked twice, and the errors were different,
  but was able to capture one output. The system has 6GB ram, and it used up all the memory. ended up adding 25GB
  of swap as fsck seems to use up a huge amount of memory. After a long while, usually after mem use is >90%,
  I come back to see the fsck has crashed and file system is still not clean.

  The reboot was clean and should not  have caused any corruption. the
  system is using ubuntu-14.04

  # uname -a
  Linux gigabyte133 3.13.0-32-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 03:51:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  root@gigabyte133:~# 

  I had to use the 64 bit version since the 32 bit version I couldn't get more than 15TB file system built and read 
  that there were compatibility problems between 32bit version with the -O 64bit and the 64 bit version so just
  built the whole thing in 64 bit ubuntu..
