I'm using kernel 2.6.9-rc1-mm1 (patched for the page-size bug) and reiser4progs1.0.0. I am able to reproduce a "wrong bytes" problem by doing the following:
# dd if=/dev/urandom bs=4096 count=1048576 of=/mnt/tmp/testfile
# umount /mnt/tmp
# fsck.reiser4 /dev/sda1
...
FSCK: Node (45223670), item (3), [2a:7465737466696c:1000f] (stat40): wrong bytes(4294967296), Should be (0).
...
1 fixable corruptions were detected in the FileSystem. Run with --fix option to fix them.


When doing a fsck.reiser4 with --fix parameter it says
FSCK: Node (45223670), item (3), [2a:7465737466696c:1000f] (stat40): wrong bytes
(4294967296), Fixed to (0).


and after that it says that the fs is consistent. I cannot find any difference in the file on the filesystem though.
Is this actually harmful or is it just "statistic" data?
If i'm doing the same test with count=1048575 no corruption is reported and if i'm doing it for files >4GiB i always get the problem (with different numbers of course).
I can sent the full fsck output if needed.
BTW this problem also occurs with kernel 2.6.8.1-mm2.

Michael
