Other file systems have different access patterns and it may not be vis^W audible with e.g. NTFS, but I wouldn't trust a hard disk that makes "clunk" noises. That being said, there are crucial parts missing from this report: syslog errors during the access problems (a full dmesg may be helpful too); does it happen with a current vanilla kernel? Also: has this been reported to the linux-ext4 mailing list prior opening this bug? Also, this error seems to be rather common with Raspberry environments, see: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-arm-108/raspberry-pi2-keeps-crashing-and-corrupting-disk-4175541613/ (May 2015) https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/8381 (Aug 2015) https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/269609/recurring-ext4-bad-header-invalid-magic-errors-on-a-healty-drive (from 3 days ago, is that you?) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
