| |
I seem to get filesystem corruption whenever I mount a Fedora Core 2 (2.6.5 kernel) with a RedHat 9 rescue CD (2.4.20) or my other 2.4.18 rescue media and try to chroot to the system image. I've tried on a few systems so it's not a hardware issue.
Here are the messages I get in dmesg. They seem file system related.
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. attempt to access beyond end of device 08:02: rw=0, want=1219858868, limit=15767797 attempt to access beyond end of device 08:02: rw=0, want=1219858868, limit=15767797
I haven't been able to reliably reproduce the actual file system corruption that I've seen. Sometimes ls doesn't work in /bin/ or once I lost everything under /usr.
I've googled for this and I found a redhat bug that might be related. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=126730
I have tried with both ext2 and ext3 partitions formatted under the 2.6 kernel and I get the same results in both cases.
Has something changed in ext2 and ext3 to make them not backward compatible to 2.4 kernels?
regards, dan carpenter
