Well, I can't reproduce it for on my Debian Trixie. I'm running on a
Dell Precision 3640 Tower, with an NVMe SSD. Kernel version is
linux-image-6.11.5-amd64. E2fsprogs version was 1.47.1-1+b1.
My experiment was as follows. I did a "make clean; make" in a Linux
kernel tree. So the ext4 file system was getting actively modiied.
Then in a root shell I ran "echo b > /proc/syrq-trigger" which trigers
an immediate reboot without syncing or umounting the file systems.
During the reboot, the journal got replayed, including processing
about two dozen orphaned inodes. With no problem.
So, "it works for me", and I can work a problem that is not
reproducible. And I haven't heard anyone else complain, either on
other Linux distributions, or any other Debian users. If this was so
easily reproucible, why isn't any one else seeing this?
Is there anything else "interesting" about your systems?
