I can reproduce this and found that it is fixed by a commit in Ted Ts'o's ext4 development repository. I'm attaching a backported version which applies to stretch. As a workaround, you can mount a filesystems affected by this bug as read-only and then remount it read-write. In this case the consistency checks do not prevent mounting. (This is probably a bug in itself!) Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.
From: Theodore Ts'o <ty...@mit.edu> Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2018 19:35:02 -0400 Subject: ext4: fix false negatives *and* false positives in ext4_check_descriptors() Origin: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git/commit?id=44de022c4382541cebdd6de4465d1f4f465ff1dd Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/903838 Ext4_check_descriptors() was getting called before s_gdb_count was initialized. So for file systems w/o the meta_bg feature, allocation bitmaps could overlap the block group descriptors and ext4 wouldn't notice. For file systems with the meta_bg feature enabled, there was a fencepost error which would cause the ext4_check_descriptors() to incorrectly believe that the block allocation bitmap overlaps with the block group descriptor blocks, and it would reject the mount. Fix both of these problems.
