Hello,
I was compiling glibc over night two days ago, and when I woke up, I had
a frozen box and one screenful of error messages.
If I remember correctly, I formatted the (3.x GB) partition under
GNU/Linux with -o hurd, mounted it under GNU/Linux and performed the
Debian-specific commands to extract the source tarball.
I then rebooted into GNU/Hurd and built it.
The error message was as follows (minor errors might apply, I
transcribed this from the screen and back):
ext2fs: /dev/hd0s8: warning: directory entry too long: inode: 2 offset: 0
make: getcwd: : Input/output error
ext2fs: /dev/hd0s8: warning: directory entry too long: inode: 2 offset: 0
make: getcwd: : Input/output error
ext2fs: /dev/hd0s8: warning: directory entry too long: inode: 48896 offset: 7422
ext2fs: /dev/hd0s8: warning: bad directory entry: inode: 48896 offset: 4096
ext2fs: /dev/hd0s8: warning: bad directory entry: inode: 2 offset: 0
Then followed the usual couple of lines with 'make error' and 'leaving
directory foo' and (I think) a shell prompt.
At the bottom of the screen the following error message was printed,
probably at a later point:
ext2fs.static: hurdmalloc.c: 246: more_memory: Unexpected error:
(os/kern) invalid argument
The first line I quoted above was also the first line of the screen, so
maybe some other error messages slipped by already.
The file system seemed to be totally corrupted afterwards, this is a
snippet from the e2fsck run:
--8<--
Too many illegal blocks in inode 70.
Clear inode<y>? yes
Inode 210 has INDEX_FL flag set but is not a directory.
Clear HTree index<y>? yes
Inode 210, i_size is 219556133516591753, should be 0. Fix<y>? yes
Inode 210, i_blocks is 989855744, should be 0. Fix<y>? yes
Inode 169 has compression flag set on filesystem without compression
support. Clear<y>? yes
Inode 150 has INDEX_FL flag set but is not a directory.
Clear HTree index<y>? yes
And later, the two inodes referred above:
Directory inode 48896, block 1, offset 0: directory corrupted
Salvage? yes
Entry 'elf' in /???/???/build-tree/??? (14898) is a link to directory
/???/???/build-tree/???/elf (48896).
Clear? yes
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Inode 2 ref count is 0, should be 4. Fix? yes
These errors occured with lots of other inodes as well.
