It could be bug in e2fsck; or it could be any number of things. If you're willing to compile your own version of e2fsprogs, it would be great to download the latest e2fsprogs git tree, use the maint branch, and then build the latest version of e2fsck, which by default will come with debugging enabled, and see if you can replicate the failure using the latest version of e2fsck. (1.42.6 is a bit old, so it might not be applicable with the latest version; I also don't know how your distro might have compiled e2fsprogs). If you can still get it to fail, it would be good to run it under gdb so we can see the stack trace when it got killed. Also, if you can grab a raw e2image dump while the file system is unmounted, that could be useful for us to try to debug what is going on. Regards, - Ted
