-------- Original Message -------- Subject: ext3 filesystem corruption with Fedora Core 2, Test 3 with latest 2.6.6.x kernel Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2004 18:11:55 -0700 From: Amit D. Chaudhary amit_ml@comcast.net To: fedora-list@redhat.com, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
What happened: I got filesystem corrupted yesterday when using a Fedora Core 3, Test 3 with linux kernel 2.6.6-1.435.
The filesystems were /boot and /, particularly files under /bin were missing including /bin/sh, /etc/fstab, etc. kernel images, and other files under /boot had disappeared.
Setup: The desktop is a HP with a P3 700 with 512 MB RAM, 2 HDD, this happenned on ide0 (hda1 and hda3) The ext3 filesystems had the default journaling mode.
How I ran into it: I ran vncserver from one of the mingetty (text) consoles, I am still trying it out and used an incorrect xstartup. Anyways, I did not connect to vnc, decided to log onto another mingetty (CTRL+ALT+2), this took the login name and hung. Now the computer went into a hard hang (No Oops, CTRL+ALT+DEL, etc did not work.) On a reboot using grub directly went into Windows (it is a dual boot system). Using the rescue disk, I noticed, since it did not mount /dev/hda1 as /boot, the old /boot was being effective and suprisingly did not have a link entry.
I have reinstalled the OS, so no direct help is needed. Thought should email it to the list for information and if someone knows which release this happens in and is there a fix to it.
Thanks Amit

Fedora Core 3 Test 3 does not exist yet. If you are using FC2 Test 3, you are running a test release older than the latest released version FC2.
The latest kernel for FC3T1 is kernel-2.6.7-1.501. FC2 has a newer kernel version than the one you are referencing.
