[Bug 1194234] [NEW] fsck.ext4 crashes with a segfault

Mon Jun 24 18:49:44 UTC 2013

Public bug reported:

I was attempting to fix the filesystem on a sata drive when fsck.ext4
crashed.

My command line:

sudo fsck.ext4 -vy /dev/sdd1

Last bit of output from fsck.ext4:

Unconnected directory inode 108960241 (/???)

My first attempt to dump the superblock contents failed:

$ sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sdd1

tune2fs: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sdd1
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

After power cycling the drive, tune2fs worked again:
