Subjectreproducible filesystem corruption with 2.0.37pre4
Dear Alan and all,

I have been experiencing silent filesystem corruption with 2.0.37pre4,
always on the same partition (sdb1, >2GB) of the same harddisk. Basically,
the filesystem is supposed to be clean, but running e2fsck on it reports
summary information errors. Once, the machine froze up completely in X
(I am not on a network, so could not check whether that was still active).
I am attaching the output of e2fsck corresponding to that freeze, and
another one. Block group 17 seems to be always involved, but that may have
to do with just how full the partition is.

I have been unable to reproduce the problem on the other partion on the
same harddisk (which is 1.7GB). The problem also seems to exist at least
in 2.0.36. This may not even be filesystem related, as the machine hung
twice at installation time when running mke2fs on this partition. The
third time, mke2fs succeeded and I got through with the installation.
I always used the default block size.

I am also attaching the output of dmesg. The disk is new. df says:

Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 2477177 574429 1774680 24% /
/dev/sdb3 1708427 116895 1503238 7% /home
/dev/sda1 153168 150704 2464 98% /dos

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Carlos
