[Bug 280243] [NEW] [intrepid] access to mounted ext3 filesystem fails with Buffer I/O errors

[akeller]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-generic

Since the update from hardy to intrepid (beta) I can't access my ext3
home partition anymore, which essentially renders the whole system
unusable. The partition gets mounted on boot up, but every access fails
with a bunch of Buffer I/O errors. According to the dmesg output, the
system attempts an "access beyond end of device". This error is also
reproducible if I boot up the system with both the Ubuntu 8.10 and
Kubuntu 8.10 Live-CDs and mount the partition manually. Again, the mount
operation succeeds, but every access throws a bunch of Buffer I/O
errors. Some further testing revealed that this error only occurs if I
boot up the system with one of the new 2.6.27-x-generic kernels (I
tested it with 2.6.27-4-generic, 2.6.27-5-generic, and
2.6.27-6-generic), with the older 2.6.24-19-generic it still works like
a charm. Strangely enough the root filesystem, which also happens to be
on an ext3 partition, works without problems in all the aforementioned
test scenarios.
