Bug ID: 368674
Summary: partition manager crashes while checking highly
corrupted partition (memory leak)
Product: partitionmanager
Version: 1.2.1
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu
Reporter: fayaz.yusuf.k...@gmail.com
Some context:
My (ext4) partition is 207GiB in size.
It had underwent some resize and move operations previously. After that the
partition remained corrupted. I tried using alternate superblocks without any
success. As a final effort I tried the "mkfs.ext4 -S".
The subsequent 'fsck' is a seemingly never ending stream of "inode x invalid,
clear? (y)" prompts.
So I tried the "Check" option in the partition manager.
But it runs for an hour until it slowly consumes all RAM (3.9GiB) and swap
(3.8GiB) and then simply exits. No crash dialog is produced however.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a large partition with several corrupted inodes.
2. Check the partition using partition manager.
Actual Results:
Process consumes all memory and exits afterwards.
Expected Results:
Handle the memory spike gracefully.
