Hi,

It's look, like corrupted file system.

Used kernel:
2.6.31.1 +
"fix missing zero-fill initialization of btree node cache" patch + "fix missing initialization of i_dir_start_lookup member" patch

Errors in dmesg:

Grrr, my patch missed your problem? Sigh.

Didn't you see any write I/O errors before these messages?

Looks there were unclean shutdowns before the read errors.

If the corruption happened before you applied the "fix missing zero-fill initialization of btree node cache" patch, it doesn't help because the patch only prevents new corruption and does not correct corrupted data on disk.

Quoted 1 line

Is it possible that the issue related to software raid(used RAID1)?

Well, I guess the corruption didn't come from data loss on the md layer. OTOH, there is a possibility that md behavior has affected nilfs.

Could you confirm if the following patch makes a difference?

This patch doesn't recover corrupted file system, so you need a new file system. But, this can prevent the directory corruption if it came from bio allocation errors on write path.

The patch was already merged at 2.6.32-rc1 but not yet backported to 2.6.31.y and 2.6.30.y.

If the patch is confirmed to have effect on your problem, I will send it to -stable trees.

Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi

Well, I guess the corruption didn't come from data loss on the md layer. OTOH, there is a possibility that md behavior has affected nilfs.
Could you confirm if the following patch makes a difference?
This patch doesn't recover corrupted file system, so you need a new file system. But, this can prevent the directory corruption if it came from bio allocation errors on write path.
The patch was already merged at 2.6.32-rc1 but not yet backported to 2.6.31.y and 2.6.30.y.
If the patch is confirmed to have effect on your problem, I will send it to -stable trees.
Thanks,

Thank you for patch. I have install it just now and reformat /dev/md4. Is it planned some fsck tool? I can help with tests if necessary.

Yuri.

Unfortunately No (at least for the time being).

Yuri.

Yes, I would appreciate if you could help testing.

Before that, please let me know whether the corruption is reproducible on a new file system after applying the "fix missing zero-fill initialization of btree node cache" patch.

It is necessary to narrow down the cause of your problem.

Thank you,

All work well, right for now. I will send mail to list if some errors appear.
