Re: ext4 corruption

Yeah, it was just a standard mkfs so I doubt that option was
specified. The important thing for me here was to at least let you
folks know about it so that you can determine if this is significant
or not.


Thanks

There are a few places where we update the superblock bypassing the
journal layer.  (For example, when we set the RO_COMPAT_LARGE_FILE
feature flag if it wasn't previously set).  Those should be cleaned
up, but it's not related to the rest of the scary-looking corruption
which you saw.  The worst that might happen is specific superblock
update might get lost (i.e., the RO_COMPAT_LARGE_FILE feature flag) on
a crash before we commit some other superblock change to the journal.
