Bug Description

I get a general protection fault when removing a lot of files from an hfsplus partition. Most of the times a reboot solves the problem but with one directory I now get the error all the time.

sudo rm -rf myrepos/
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Looking at the kernel logs I find the following:

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.9 kernel[0].

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'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

I have not been running Ubuntu on this machine so can't say if it works on any earlier version.

I verified that the problem is still there with mainline kernel v4.9-rc7.

After this problem happens it is not possible to unmount the drive so I am not able to reboot the machine properly. After a power button forced reboot running fsck reports errors like this:

Don't know if it's caused by this reported bug or by the power button shutdown.

I repaired the disk with Mac OS disk utility and verified that fsck in Ubuntu finds it OK again. Then ran the "test" once again. The problem happened again so crash is not because of existing file system errors.

Hi,

for me this problem persists in 4.9.0 (compiled myself, on debian8). It's reproducible: create new empty filesystem, add files, delete files --> leading to a segfault and unrecoverable corruption of the filesystem. I tried this on two different hard drives, so I would exclude the possibility of a hardware failure.

see attached part of kern.log.

cheers, lukas

Are there any work-arounds or planned fixes to this problem?

I'm getting the same fault when deleting a large number of files from a directory using the following bash shell script;

mkdir test_dir; for i in {1..300}; do touch test_dir/$i; done ; rm /test_dir/*

After this, fsck cannot fix the HFS+ partition, meaning all files are lost.

Is HFS+ support broken in Linux since 4.9? Can we have this officially acknowledged here? It's a high ranking result.

For what it's worth, mounting large HFS+ volumes, like this Drobo I own, just hangs:
