Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.37-2 Severity: important This was running on a system with a ro / fs changed via remount to rw. (So /etc/mtab was not real, since nothing rewrote it afterward.) I don't know if this is relevant - since I did the exact same thing in the same session to another fs, and that worked fine, created a .journal file.
/dev/md1 was mounted on /boot and I ran tune2fs -O +has_journal /dev/md1 I then ran find /boot - and got zillions of errors flying across the screen. To fast to read (and I could not pause it) so I can't tell you what the error was - it seemed to be two lines of error message identically repeated. I reset the computer and ran fsck. The log of the fsck session is attached. (Created via copy/paste so I hope I didn't miss any lines from the session.) This is a three part bug: a: why did tune2fs mess up b: you'll notice I had to run fsck twice to get a correct fs c: the kernel should probably have reacted a little more sensibly to the error - i.e. don't send zillions of identical messages - kick out the fs, maybe return an error to the process trying to read, but not tons of useless messages that effectively froze the machine. (I checked and it was mounted errors=continue, since that's the default.) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages e2fsprogs depends on: ii e2fslibs 1.37-2 ext2 filesystem libraries ii libblkid1 1.37-2 block device id library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.37-2 common error description library ii libss2 1.37-2 command-line interface parsing lib ii libuuid1 1.37-2 universally unique id library -- no debconf information
