The rec_len field in the directory entry is 16 bits, so if the
filesystem is completely empty, rec_len of 0 is used to designate
65536 in e2fsprogs, for the case where the directory entry takes
the entire 64k block.
But if empty directory is read, error message will be output by
current kernel. You can do the following commands to reproduct it.
- mkfs.ext3 -b $(( 64 * 1024 )) /dev/sdc1
- mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
- cd /mnt/lost+found
- ll
- tail /var/log/messages
EXT3-fs error (device sdc1): ext3_readdir: bad entry in \
directory #11: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, \
inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0
This patch fix to treat rec_len of 0 as 65536, like what e2fsprogs do.
