Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.37-2sarge1 Greetings,
I'm checking an ext3 file system on a ~240 GiB RAID-1 array (two "250 GB" drives, df reports 240362560 1K-blocks), and e2fsck segfaults. Today it segfaulted while I wasn't there, the last message it printed was: "i_fsize for inode xxxxx (...) is 234848, should be zero. Clear?" (Pass 4?) Last night it segfaulted after going back for at least a Pass 1b to resolve a bunch of duplicate blocks; I'm not sure whether it entered further passes. The command line is: e2fsck -y -C 0 /dev/md0 Today I ran it a third time under gdb, it got to about 93% and then in Pass 4, after a handful of non-zero i_file_acls, bad modes and an illegal FIFO, it segfaulted, the last messages were: Inode 2919156 ref count is 90, should be 1. Fix? yes i_file_acl for inode 5350463 (...) is 3961695421, should be zero. Clear? yes i_faddr for inode 5350463 (...) is 2987423426, should be zero. Clear? yes i_frag for inode 5350463 (...) is 51, should be zero. Clear? yes i_fsize for inode 5350463 (...) is 214, should be zero. Clear? yes Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x400338fa in ext2fs_unmark_generic_bitmap () from /lib/libext2fs.so.2 (gdb) backtrace #0 0x400338fa in ext2fs_unmark_generic_bitmap () from /lib/libext2fs.so.2 #1 0x0805712a in ??

(not sure more of this is useful to copy from the screen) #92 0x400bde6c in malloc_set_state () from /lib/libc.so.6 Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?) This is /home on a production server (but with a backup), so I'm not too interested in taking it down for another hour and a half for testing -- though if/when it crashes again, I'll give it another try. Right now it's up and running with the errors. :-( Also, we just migrated from an 80 GB RAID-5 array to this array; this is on an ABIT BP6 HPT 366 controller (I know, bad, bad, bad! but we don't have the money for a new server). The old array on the same controller had a MTBF around 40 days before it crashed the machine, the new array MTBF was a few hours, so we upgraded to the RU BIOS and it hasn't crashed since...
