This looks to be the same issue as I was experiencing during 12.10 development:
http://old.nabble.com/ext4-recovery-deleted-orphans-on- reboot...-td34475175.html Journal recovery occurs 100% of the time; list of orhpan inodes presumably depends on the amount of unlinking in the last 5 seconds before shutdown. Oddly enough, I don't observe this on my work desktop running Ubuntu 12.10, but I do see this on three laptops - also with Ubuntu 12.04. I'll double-check this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1073433 Title: Ext4 corruption associated with shutdown of Ubuntu 12.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1073433/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
