            Bug ID: 201823
           Summary: inconsistent behaviour of xfs_db, xfs_repair and
                    xfs_scrub
           Product: File System
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 4.19.5
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: XFS
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
        Regression: No

Hi,

I am using xfs on Manjaro with kernel 4.19 and latest xfsprogs 4.19.0-1.

I checked my root filesystem with xfs_db for fragmentation and got metadata corruption messages:

5# xfs_db -c frag -r /dev/sde1
Metadata corruption detected at 0x558ed74133f3, xfs_inode block 0x7faac0/0x8000 Metadata corruption detected at 0x558ed74133f3, xfs_inode block 0x20cb300/0x8000
Metadata corruption detected at 0x558ed74133f3, xfs_inode block 0x2341340/0x8000
aktuell 976616, ideal 970547, Unterteilungsfaktor 0,62%
Note, this number is largely meaningless.
Files on this filesystem average 1,01 extents per file

But xfs_repiar is not mentioning anything and hence not repairing anything. Also, xfs_scrub is not complaining:

8# xfs_scrub -v /
EXPERIMENTAL xfs_scrub program in use! Use at your own risk! Phase 1: Find filesystem geometry.
/: using 8 threads to scrub.
Phase 2: Check internal metadata.
Phase 3: Scan all inodes.
Phase 5: Check directory tree.
Phase 7: Check summary counters.
41,6GiB data used; 1,3M inodes used.
41,5GiB data found; 1,3M inodes found.
1,3M inodes counted; 1,3M inodes checked.

How do I have to interpret these results?
What can I do to get repair it?

I created an xfs dump just in case somebody wants to debug this.

Thank you for your help
Matthias

I see that inode 0x234134 has a bad v3.crc:

I would like to know which file belongs to that inode before I try recalculate it. But "blockget -n" is always running out of memory.

Anyways, why isnt xfs_repair fixing this? Why isnt xfs_scrub showing this?

[Bug 201823] inconsistent behaviour of xfs_db, xfs_repair and xfs_scrub

The error occurs also with unmounted drive. Sorry for posting the output of the "xfs_db -r" command this is misleading.

The first thing I did is checking it with a KNOPPIX 8.2 live CD. xfs_db is showing the erros but xfs_repair does not repair anything.

Here the relevant outputs. /dev/sde1 is not mounted:

Hi,

I am using xfs on Manjaro with kernel 4.19 and latest xfsprogs 4.19.0-1.

I checked my root filesystem with xfs_db for fragmentation and got metadata corruption messages:

Quoted 9 lines

5# xfs_db -c frag -r /dev/sde1
Metadata corruption detected at 0x558ed74133f3, xfs_inode block 0x7faac0/0x8000 Metadata corruption detected at 0x558ed74133f3, xfs_inode block 0x20cb300/0x8000

aktuell 976616, ideal 970547, Unterteilungsfaktor 0,62%
Note, this number is largely meaningless.
Files on this filesystem average 1,01 extents per file

That is expected if you are running xfs_db on a mounted filesystem. What is on disk at any given instant is not consistent. The combined in-memory state, the journal and what is on-disk is consistent, but you cannot see all that extra in-memory state from xfs_db. If the system crashes, journal replay is what brings it back to being consistent on disk. IOWs, this is expected behaviour.

Quoted 1 line

But xfs_repiar is not mentioning anything and hence not repairing anything.

xfs_repair won't run on a mounted filesystem.

Quoted 13 lines

Also, xfs_scrub is not complaining:

8# xfs_scrub -v /
EXPERIMENTAL xfs_scrub program in use! Use at your own risk! Phase 1: Find filesystem geometry.
/: using 8 threads to scrub.
Phase 2: Check internal metadata.
Phase 3: Scan all inodes.
Phase 5: Check directory tree.
Phase 7: Check summary counters.
41,6GiB data used; 1,3M inodes used.
41,5GiB data found; 1,3M inodes found.
1,3M inodes counted; 1,3M inodes checked.

Scrub runs online, so sees the in-memory state of the filesystem along with what is on disk, and hence it doesn't find any corruptions because there are none.

IOWs, there are no problems and everything is behaving as expected.

-Dave.

Hi,

I am using xfs on Manjaro with kernel 4.19 and latest xfsprogs 4.19.0-1.

I checked my root filesystem with xfs_db for fragmentation and got metadata corruption messages:

Quoted 10 lines

5# xfs_db -c frag -r /dev/sde1
Metadata corruption detected at 0x558ed74133f3, xfs_inode block 0x7faac0/0x8000
Metadata corruption detected at 0x558ed74133f3, xfs_inode block 0x20cb300/0x8000
Metadata corruption detected at 0x558ed74133f3, xfs_inode block 0x2341340/0x8000
aktuell 976616, ideal 970547, Unterteilungsfaktor 0,62% Note, this number is largely meaningless.
Files on this filesystem average 1,01 extents per file

That is expected if you are running xfs_db on a mounted filesystem. What is on disk at any given instant is not consistent. The combined in-memory state, the journal and what is on-disk is consistent, but you cannot see all that extra in-memory state from xfs_db. If the system crashes, journal replay is what brings it back to being consistent on disk. IOWs, this is expected behaviour.

Quoted 1 line

But xfs_repiar is not mentioning anything and hence not repairing anything.

xfs_repair won't run on a mounted filesystem.

Quoted 13 lines

Also, xfs_scrub is not complaining:

8# xfs_scrub -v /
EXPERIMENTAL xfs_scrub program in use! Use at your own risk! Phase 1: Find filesystem geometry.
/: using 8 threads to scrub.
Phase 2: Check internal metadata.
Phase 3: Scan all inodes.
Phase 5: Check directory tree.
Phase 7: Check summary counters.
41,6GiB data used; 1,3M inodes used.
41,5GiB data found; 1,3M inodes found.
1,3M inodes counted; 1,3M inodes checked.

Scrub runs online, so sees the in-memory state of the filesystem along with what is on disk, and hence it doesn't find any corruptions because there are none.

IOWs, there are no problems and everything is behaving as expected.

-Dave.

I think Dave's analysis is correct, but to be sure, can you confirm that this command was run while mounted?

If you'd like to send me a compressed metadump image (offline for maximum privacy) I'll take a look.

However, some of your messages above are a result user error: you are providing a block number as an inode number to xfs_db, so it is trying to parse a non-inode as an inode.

I will send you a dropbox link to the metadump

--- Comment #7 from Eric Sandeen ([email protected]) --- So, the frag command emits these warnings under a debug build:

# xfs_db -c frag -r /dev/sde1
bad inode magic/vsn daddr 8366784 #0 (magic=5844)
Metadata corruption detected at 0x4289c3, xfs_inode block 0x7faac0/0x8000
bad inode magic/vsn daddr 34386688 #0 (magic=0)
Metadata corruption detected at 0x4289c3, xfs_inode block 0x20cb300/0x8000
bad inode magic/vsn daddr 36967232 #0 (magic=0)
Metadata corruption detected at 0x4289c3, xfs_inode block 0x2341340/0x8000

If we look at each of those blocks (daddr) after a blockget -n,

xfs_db> daddr 8366784
xfs_db> blockuse
block 1045848 (0/1045848) type dir inode 8366719 xfs_db> daddr 34386688
xfs_db> blockuse
block 5292640 (1/1098336) type free2 xfs_db> daddr 36967232
xfs_db> blockuse
block 5615208 (1/1420904) type data inode 44934228

The "inode" corruption it's finding isn't actually in inode blocks...

I think this is probably just a bug in the frag command, and not indicative of actual filesystem corruption. Another reason to kill off the worthless frag() command. ;)

I think the bug is probably in sparse inode chunk handling.

--- Comment #9 from Eric Sandeen ([email protected]) --- Yep, that's the case. We're missing the equivalent of

ea8a48f xfs_check: process sparse inode chunks correctly

for the frag function's version of scanfun_ino. I'll send a patch to the list, but in the meantime I think you can relax: this is a bug in the xfs_db frag command, not filesystem corruption.
