Subject: e2fsprogs: e2fsck does not complete check and reboots system
Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.41.0-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
*** Please type your
report below this line ***
On my debian lenny box (ext3 file
system, dumpe2fs output is reported below) the usage of program
/sbin/e2fsck (version: 1.41.0-3) causes system reboot without completing
PASS 1 PHASE and without any error or warning message. It happens when
e2fsck is:
1) automatically executed after the 30th mount: in
this case the system continuosly reboots (e2fsck never complete check);
2) manually executed during a boot in maintenance mode after
e2fsck is interrupted by ctrl-c before it reboots: even if e2fsck is
interrupted before reboot (e.g. ctrl-c), the system reboots anyway when I
press ctrl-d to continue booting without check; if e2fsck is not
interrupted, it reboots just as previously showed;
3) manually
executed after a normal boot - if previous cases have been worked around
(for example, the command '/sbin/e2fsck -f -d -n -v -C 1 /dev/hda5' causes
system reboot without errors or warnings)
So that, in case 1)
or 2), the system becames unusable unless the file system check is
disabled (changing /etc/fstab booting from a different disk or a rescue
live CD).
In case 3), e2fsck start showing triplets of data
(using -C 1 option) starting from 1 1 734 and it always reboots shortly
after the triplet 1 64 734 as showed below:
Pass 1: Checking
inodes, blocks, and sizes
1 0 734
1 1 734
1 2 734
1 3
734
1 4 734
[.. snip ..]
1 64 734
[.. here system
reboot ..]
When I check the file system using a previous
version of e2fsck (for
example booting from a Knoppix 5.1 live CD,
giving the command
'fsck -c /dev/hda5'), e2fsck completes the
check
without errors nor wornings and reports that the system is
clean, as
showed below:

My debian lenny box works fine if I don't issue e2fs commands from
latest verion (1.41.0-3) while a previous versions (for example 1.40-WIP
(14-Nov-2006)) of e2fsck works fine (even if from a rescue disk).
I suppose the problem arised when I installed the latest versione of
e2fsck.

This is not an e2fsprogs problem; probably some combination of a kernel
hardware problems.
