Public bug reported: Kernel 3.13.0-157 causes errors writing to an ext2 or ext3 filesystem with a non-zero stride setting. The issue does not happen with kernel 3.13.0-155.
Steps to reproduce: root@manager:~# mkdir mnt root@manager:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=file.img bs=1MB count=32 [...] root@manager:~# mke2fs -E stride=256 file.img [...] root@manager:~# mount -o loop file.img mnt/ root@manager:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=mnt/bigfile bs=1MB count=20 dd: error writing ‘mnt/bigfile’: No space left on device 16+0 records in 15+0 records out 15937536 bytes (16 MB) copied, 0.0780797 s, 204 MB/s root@manager:~# df -h [...] /dev/loop0 30M 16M 13M 56% /root/mnt The relevant lines from syslog are: Sep 4 23:16:40 manager kernel: [ 2385.432802] EXT4-fs (loop0): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
