First messages from ext4 were: Jul 20 11:46:03 samsung kernel: [ 9433.532983] EXT4-fs error (device sda2): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:731: group 427569 blocks in bitmap, 7568 in gd Jul 20 11:46:03 samsung kernel: [ 9433.533209] JBD: Spotted dirty metadata buffer (dev = sda2, blocknr = 0). There's a risk of filesystem corruption in case of system crash. with a lot of others following. blocknr = 0 is the superblock ... This plus other bugs lately make me think that ext4 sync is not working properly.
[Mass hibernate bug update] Dave Airlied has found an issue causing some corruption in the i915 fbdev after a resume from hibernate. I have included his patch in this scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3940545 This will probably not solve all of the issues being tracked at the moment, but it is worth testing when the build completes. If this seems to clear up the issues you see with hibernate, please report your results in the bug.
Similar errors still present in F-16. I guess this is the same (or similar) as bug #744275. PS. I have a system that was exhibiting i915 corruption, which is now fixed. This appears to be an unrelated ext4 problem.
Just got the same ext4_mb_generate_buddy error after hibernate/resume. Strange symptoms followed: /var/cache/ gave I/O error when attempting to write inside, although parent folders worked fine on the same partition. A reboot fixed it. I use F17 and kernel 3.3.4-4. Would be nice if this issue could be figured out since I don't really dare using hibernate until this is fixed..
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/4/470 seems to be a related upstream discussion over the ext4_mb_generate_buddy message. bug 822071 is an f17 variant of the same. (There's at least one other similar). Given f15 is due for eol at the end of this month, I suspect we'll migrate this bug to 17, and dupe the others against this.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
