Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2004 19:48:29 +0200 Message-ID: <200408101948.29202.frbiscani@jumpy.it> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: list-help: list-unsubscribe: list-post: Errors-To: flx@namesys.com In-Reply-To: Content-Disposition: inline List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: reiserfs-list@namesys.com Hi, lately whenever I run fsck.reiser4 I get loads of errors about wrong sizes, e.g., something like [1] "Object foo (stat40) has wrong size, should be X bytes". fsck suggests to --fix them, which I do, and indeed another run of fsck confirms that there are no problems. However after mounting the partition and working a bit on it, I get those size errors again, even if the partition was umounted cleanly. This happens: - with 0.5.6, 0.5.6-fixed and 1.0.0 reiser4progs, - on two different partitions on two different machines, - before and after updating the fs layout (by means of debugfs -C). I'm running the latest _stable_ snapshot (against 2.6.8-rc2-mm2), but I remember this happening also with previous auto-snapshot (though it did not use to happen in my early 0.5.6 days). What's going on here? Regards, Francesco [1] Sorry, I don't remember exactly the error message, will post it if needed.
