Since linux-2.4.5 always the same errors occur sporadically after the cold boot in the morning. (My computer is powered off during the night.) Every second day I noticed my syslog sais something like the following: Aug 21 09:01:06 adlib kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,5)): ext2_new_block: Allocating block in system zone - block = 3 Aug 21 09:01:06 adlib kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,5)): ext2_free_blocks: Freeing blocks in system zones - Block = 4, count = 1 Aug 21 09:01:06 adlib kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,5)): ext2_new_block: Allocating block in system zone - block = 37 Aug 21 09:01:06 adlib kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,5)): ext2_new_block: Allocating block in system zone - block = 45 Aug 21 09:01:07 adlib kernel: mtrr: base(0x42000000) is not aligned on a size(0x1800000) boundary Aug 21 09:01:09 adlib last message repeated 2 times Aug 21 09:01:26 adlib PAM_unix[1929]: (login) session opened for user root by LOGIN(uid=0) Aug 21 09:01:26 adlib -- root[1929]: ROOT LOGIN ON tty1 Aug 21 09:01:30 adlib kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,5)): ext2_free_blocks: Freeing blocks in system zones - Block = 41, count = 4 Aug 21 09:01:30 adlib kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,5)): ext2_new_block: Allocating block in system zone - block = 4 Aug 21 09:01:30 adlib kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,5)): ext2_new_block: Allocating block in system zone - block = 7 Aug 21 09:01:30 adlib kernel: EXT2-fs error (device ide0(3,5)): ext2_free_blocks: Freeing blocks in system zones - Block = 8, count = 2 Today it destroyed my super block and all my root-directories were placed in /lost+found. I rescued everything with e2fsck-1.14 from a very old rescue-disk and then again with 1.23, renaming and replacing the directories by hand. A lot of devices and some .h-files were not recoverable. These fatal errors are occuring since 2.4.5 (2.4.8 I've not tested.). When I work with 2.4.4 everything is fine ! I already use the newest version of e2fsck (1.23) and util-linux (2.11f). My RedHat (Rotkäppchen) 6.2 is rather old, but I don't like gcc 2.96 at all. I posted this report as the errors occured after a complete crash with 2.4.6 also to the ext2-developers directly but they didn't answered. Maybe you could help me here ?
