Error code 8 from e2fsck is "Operational error", whatever that means.

Comment 3 Eric Sandeen 2009-05-15 19:13:03 UTC
Got system logs from this attempt that might log the fsck output?  does fsck output go to logs?

Comment 4 James Laska 2009-05-15 19:19:55 UTC
esandeen: storage.log, program.log and other log files from the installer are attached in the anacdump.txt file.  Does this provide the information you're looking for?

Comment 5 Eric Sandeen 2009-05-15 19:36:07 UTC
oh, oops, so they are.  :)

But unfortunately, nope:

Running... ['e2fsck', '-f', '-p', '-C', '0', '/dev/mapper/vg_test150-lv_root']

<nada>

doesn't seem to have logged the output.

I take it you were resizing a filesystem?  Looks like anaconda was doing its iterative search for minimum size, I thought only livecd  creation did that... damn.  It's potentially buggy, but I was willing to live with it in the livecd  creation stuff.  If anaconda is doing this it's a bigger problem.

Comment 6 James Laska 2009-05-15 19:48:22 UTC
This bug was encountered while attempting retesting a fix in bug#499662.  

= Steps to reproduce =

* Install autopart
* Initiate a new install, and select 'Custom partition'
* resize previous '/' logical volume to 5000
* add a new '/' using remaining free space in volume group
* resize previous '/boot' partition from 196 to 195

Comment 7 Eric Sandeen 2009-05-20 20:40:39 UTC
The minimum size calc in resize2fs was broken, and if you tried to resize below the real minimum, some error paths were such that corruption ensued.  I'm hoping that the fix for bug #499452 should fix this as well, though it's a bit hard to tell since we don't actually see your fsck output anywhere :(

-Eric

Reproduced again while retesting the fix for bug#499662

Test procedure outlined at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499662#c7

Comment 10 Eric Sandeen 2009-05-27 16:04:32 UTC
A couple more resize fixes were put into e2fsprogs-1.41.4-10 ... James, have you reproduced with that as well?

Comment 11 James Laska 2009-05-27 17:14:02 UTC
Retested in comment#8 on rawhide-20090526 which included e2fsprogs-1.41.4-10.fc11

Comment 12 Eric Sandeen 2009-05-27 17:35:45 UTC
Ok, we need to get fsck output via an update disk or something which doesn't throw away the result ....

Comment 13 James Laska 2009-05-29 14:44:53 UTC
I've hit this bug again while testing and at the suggestion of notting, reran the fsck manually.


sh-4.0# e2fsck -f -p -C 0 /dev/mapper/vg_brutus-lv_root 
/dev/mapper/vg_brutus-lv_root: Invalid argument while reading block 19431424

/dev/mapper/vg_brutus-lv_root: Invalid argument reading journal superblock

e2fsck: Invalid argument while checking ext3 journal for /dev/mapper/vg_brutus-lv_root

Comment 14 James Laska 2009-05-29 14:46:40 UTC
I should note, this system is available for remote access if needed.

Comment 15 Eric Sandeen 2009-05-29 15:14:58 UTC
The partition is ~19G:

# grep dm /proc/partitions
 253        0   20480000 dm-0

# bc
20480000*1024/1024/1024/1024
19

The filesystem thinks it's 149G!

# dumpe2fs -h /dev/mapper/vg_brutus-lv_root | grep -i block
dumpe2fs 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)
Block count:              39133184
Reserved block count:     1956659
Free blocks:              37661316
First block:              0
Block size:               4096

# bc
39133184*4096/1024/1024/1024
149

It looks like something shrunk the lv without first resizing the filesystem?

Comment 16 Eric Sandeen 2009-05-29 15:51:49 UTC
From the logs of the system I see:

Running... ['dumpe2fs', '-h', '/dev/mapper/vg_brutus-lv_root']
...
Block count:              39133184
Reserved block count:     1956659
Free blocks:              37661316
Free inodes:              9675499
First block:              0
Block size:               4096
...

and then:

Running... ['resize2fs', '-P', '/dev/mapper/vg_brutus-lv_root']
Estimated minimum size of the filesystem: 940881
resize2fs 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)

This gets us the estimated minimum size of the fs (940881 blocks)

I don't know if that second "resize2fs 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)" is resize2fs actually running?  It seems out of order.

But later I see:

Running... ['lvm', 'lvresize', '-L', '20000m', 'vg_brutus/lv_root']
  Reducing logical volume lv_root to 19.53 GB
  Logical volume lv_root successfully resized

I don't actually see the result of a resize2fs which did the actual resize, anywhere.

Comment 18 Andrew Parker 2009-06-01 02:59:02 UTC
I got this problem when I was just formatting existing partitions without resizing anything.

If I choose not to format the partitons, then I don't get this problem.

Comment 19 Eric Sandeen 2009-06-01 04:25:49 UTC
Andrew got:

Running... ['e2fsck', '-f', '-p', '-C', '0', '/dev/mapper/vgmp01-root4']
VGMP01_ROOT4: The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 10907648 blocks
The physical size of the device is 10485760 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!

so here again, fs larger than block device... by about 1.6G

Toward the end of his attached logs I do see:

[2009-05-31 18:31:50,299]     INFO: executing action: Resize Format (Shrink) ext3 on vgmp01-root4 (lvmlv)

Dunno what's going on here.  I don't see any explicit calls to resize2fs (other than -P to get minimum (though I wonder why that's done?)) or to lvresize (or to mkfs for that matter).

Andrew, what is the size of your existing device that had the problem, I guess /dev/mapper/vgmp01-root4 ?  I wonder, if you manually mkfs.ext4 that and fsck it does it come up with a problem?

-Eric

Comment 20 Andrew Parker 2009-06-01 16:40:02 UTC
I'm not sure why the install is even looking at vgmp01-root4, I wasn't using that logical volume at all - I was using vgmp01-root2 and /dev/sdb6 only for the install.

From /proc/partitions, the physical device that vgmp01-root4 is on is 976762584 blocks, whereas vgmp01-root4 is 41943040 (these are 1K blocks, no?) = 10485760 e2fsk's 4K blocks?

I'd chosen ext3 for both those partitions, and before I re-tried the install (without formatting during the installation) I had done a mkfs.ext on vgmp01-root4.  fsck now reports no problem:

# fsck -f -p -C /dev/mapper/vgmp01-root4
fsck 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)
/dev/mapper/vgmp01-root4: 11/2621440 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 209587/10485760 blocks

Its borks at -C 0 (with a help page), but not -C.

Comment 21 Eric Sandeen 2009-06-01 17:23:36 UTC
I wonder if it's possible that there was preexisting corruption on the device?

But in that case I'm still not sure why anaconda was fscking it if you weren't "using" it or otherwise modifying anything on it ....

(and, um, weird, -C should require an argument, looks like you've found a bug in fsck... in any case, anaconda was running e2fsck, not just fsck)

Comment 22 James Laska 2009-06-09 13:26:00 UTC
Retested using anaconda-11.5.0.59 (F-11-RC4) and no longer seeing this failure.  Closing this bug.

Comment 23 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 15:52:42 UTC
