Bug in ReiserFS

Bug in ReiserFS

[Aleksander Adamowski]

Hi,
I think I got bitten by a bug in reiserfs.

Kernels tested:
2.4.7 with patch-int
2.4.9 with patch-int (you can get its config from here: 
http://office.altkom.com.pl/olo/domowa/249i)
plain 2.4.9
My distro: Mandrake 7.1

I can reproduce it on my machine using gftp 2.0.8. I suspect that when 
it tries to write to files (or create ones) in the ~/.gftp/cache, it 
triggers that bug. It clearly fails when trying to update its remote 
directory cache, which is stored there.
I suspect that, because every time I connect to ftp.mozilla.org with 
gftp I see the same outdated directory listing.
However, I were able to copy the ~/.gftp with cp -R in whole, so that's 
probably not a problem with reading but writing.
When I had tried to refresh the remote dir, gftp-gtk segfaulted (it 
probably tried to update the cache), kernel error occured and files on 
the whole /home filesystem were inaccessible. I could list dirs in 
/home, but any process that tried to open a file instantly freezed (even 
if run by root).

The segfault message:

/usr/bin/gftp: line 9:  1349 Segmentation fault      /usr/bin/gftp-gtk $@


When I tried to do an emergency sync using the Alt-SysRq-S combo, I got 
the following message:

Syncing device 03:06 ... OK
Syncing device 03:08 ...


ll /dev/hda8 shows this:

brw-rw----    1 root     disk       3,   8 May  5  1998 /dev/hda8


mount shows this for dev/hda8:

/dev/hda8 on /home type reiserfs (rw)


Here are two snippets from /var/log messages - what the kernel said when 
the error occured (including some lines of context):

Bug in reiserfs

To check whether it is filesystem problem you may want to try something
like:
mknod /ext2-mount/sg3 c 21 3
and then try your program patched with the below:
- if ((fd=open("/dev/sg3", O_RDWR)) < 0) {
+ if ((fd=open("/ext2-mount/sg3", O_RDWR)) < 0) {

Please choose your subject carefully. Claiming that you found a bug in
reiserfs while you only met a boundary condition isn't very polite.

That mainly depends on the journal size. The default journal size is 32
MB which means that an actual useful disk size is about 100 MB. See
mkreiserfs(8), -s option.

Please let us see whole mkreiserfs output and the command line itself.

In case of standard journal minimal reiserfs size is 8212 blocks.
