--- Begin Message ---Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.41.12-2 Severity: important I'm getting "Resize inode not valid" all the time during boot. It fails to check the root filesystem, which is ext3, and shows a prompt to ebter root password or continue. /dev/sdb5 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) If I login into shell and run fsck manually (without any option), it doesn't ask any questions, just fixes something automatically (something like "group descriptors look bad, trying to backup blocks"). Then I press Ctrl+D, shell exits, and machine reboots. After that I don't see error messages, machine boots successfully. After second reboot I see error message again, and I should redo all steps again to fix it. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (20, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages e2fsprogs depends on: ii e2fslibs 1.41.12-2 ext2/ext3/ext4 file system librari ii libblkid1 2.17.2-3.1 block device id library ii libc6 2.11.2-5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcomerr2 1.41.12-2 common error description library ii libss2 1.41.12-2 command-line interface parsing lib ii libuuid1 2.17.2-3.1 Universally Unique ID library ii util-linux 2.17.2-3.1 Miscellaneous system utilities e2fsprogs recommends no packages.

--- Begin Message ---I'm going to close this because we don't have enough inormation to do anything more with this report, and indeed it's not clear there's any changes to e2fsck that would be appropriate in light of this report. I've looked at the file system image which was sent to me out of band. Unfortunately it was not created as a raw compressed e2image file, but was just a plain e2image file. This meant that I don't have as much information to debug the file system in question. However, it does confirm that the resize inode has been zeroed out, so that e2sck message is valid. Looking at the fsck transcript more closely, my best interpretation is that both the primary and backup block group descriptors were corrupted. In newer versions of e2sck, we now assume force a full fsck when we e2fsck uess the backup block group descriptors, which avoids some of the confusing messages found in the fsck transcripts reported in this bug report. - Ted
