Subject: [e2fsprogs] Bug in salvage_directory
Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2007 15:02:02 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1183973522.3889.10.camel@garfield.linsyssoft.com> (raw)

Hi Ted,

Recently, one of our customers found this message in pass2 of e2fsck while doing some regression testing:
"Entry '4, 0x695a, 0x81ff, 0x0040, 0x8320, 0xa192, 0x0021' in ??? (136554) has
rec_len of 14200, should be 26908."

Both the displayed rec_len and the "should be" value are bogus. The reason is that salvage_directory sets a offset beyond blocksize leading to bogus messages.
