Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.41.9-1
Severity: important
File: /sbin/fsck.ext4
I just converted a data partition from ext3 to ext4.
After that I tried to convert a file to use extents:
mordor:/home/gpall# lsattr file
------------------- file
mordor:/home/gpall# chattr +e file
mordor:/home/gpall# lsattr file
-----------------e- file
I calculated the md5 of the file before and after, and it was OK, but syslog
had written this:

This is not an e2fsprogs bug, but a kernel bug, which I believe should
be fixed in more modern kernels. Can you replicate this on the latest
testing kernel (2.6.32-9)? If yo can, please open a bug report
against that kernel. and cc the linux-e...@vger.kernel.org mailing
list.
Thanks,
- Ted
