Kubuntu 12.10 and pata ide hard disk ext3 fs corrupted.

[Franco Martelli]

The filesystem on pata hd (/dev/sda1) was created on Debian Sqeeze with the following command:
root@mitas:~# mkfs.ext3 -m 0 /dev/sdb1
(sdb1 because Debian libata routine first named sda the sata hard disk then sdb the ide pata hard disk)

The directory "/media/sdb1/sda5/" contain a copy of /dev/sda5 (Debian 6.0) partition created using the following command (an Alan Cox's tips):
(tar cpsf - . --exclude lost+found --same-owner --numeric-owner --sparse --atime-preserve) | (cd /media/sdb1/sda5/ && tar xpsf - --atime-preserve --same-owner --numeric-owner --sparse) &

I use the "find" command to reproduce the bugs that it happens suddenly, first deleting proceed correctly then error messages appears so I type Ctrl-C to interrupt find deletion activity and fsck.ext3 report /dev/sda1 with errors.
As attachment the file console_output.txt.gz has hardware informations and explain how to reproduce the bug.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.8 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 1113627

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

Latest mainline kernel works fine:
root@mitas:~# uname -a
Linux mitas 3.8.0-030800rc7-generic #201302081635 SMP Fri Feb 8 21:36:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

find command deleted 5GB of data without errors and fsck.ext3 command says filesystem clean.
bye.

Franco Martelli, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, please just make a comment to this.
