Occasionaly I get _LOTS_ of this kind of errors from a LVM snapshot i have mounted.
dmesg gives these 2 interesting lines:
--------------------------------------
EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,4)): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #1327138: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=1922062006, rec_len=43729, name_len=218
EXT3-fs error (device lvm(58,4)): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #1376515: rec_len % 4 != 0 - offset=0, inode=2932214113, rec_len=4999, name_len=53
which fits perfectly well with the snapshot:

Block device 58:2The strange part is that some files works, and some doesnt ?? Is this a snapshot error, a filesystem error, or combinations ? I run EXT3 on all my filesystems, and i only see the problem on snapshots. They are read only though, so it could be that EXT3 doesnt like read-only. Has anyone experienced anything like this?
