My suggestion at this point is if you have a large filesystem (the reports for this seem to come from users with > 1TB filesystems) to take a periodic e2image backup of your filesystem before the corruption, and save it on some other filesystem so there is a backup of your filesystem metadata. This will help recover the filesystem after the corruption. If you can reproduce this reliably, please let us know. We haven't been able to get this problem reproduced yet. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
