[trying again, this time with correct kernel.org address]

Hi,

I have seen the following and similar problems several times,
with both v4.19.3 and v4.19.4:

Nov 23 04:32:25 mars kernel: [112668.673671] EXT4-fs error (device sdb1): ext4_iget:4831: inode #12602889: comm git: bad extra_isize 33661 (inode size 256)

The same systems running v4.18.6 never experienced a problem.

Has anyone else seen similar problems ? Is there anything I can do
to help tracking down the problem ?

Thanks,
Guenter
