Subject: [PATCH] e2fsprogs: Fix reserved blocks calculation for mke2fs -m 50%
Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2012 20:16:01 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <503F4B71.7090001@rs.jp.nec.com> (raw)
mke2fs -m option can set reserved blocks ratio up to 50%.
But if the last BG is not big enough to support the necessary data
structures, reserved blocks ratio can exceed 50%
and we never succeed in e2fsck with that FS.
This bug happens on ext2, ext3 and ext4.
To fix this, the patch recalculates reserved blocks count
if FS blocks count is changed in mke2fs because of
the last BG's size.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a FS which has the overhead for the last BG
and specify 50 % for reserved blocks ratio
# mke2fs -m 50 -t ext4 DEV 1025M
mke2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
warning: 256 blocks unused.
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
Stride=0 blocks, Stripe width=0 blocks
656640 inodes, 2621440 blocks
1310848 blocks (50.00%) reserved for the super user
~~~~~~~ <-- Reserved blocks exceed 50% of FS blocks count!
2. e2fsck outputs filesystem corruption
# e2fsck DEV
e2fsck 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
Corruption found in superblock. (r_blocks_count = 1310848).
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>
