Hello people,

Since I've seen that there are some problems with corruption on ext2fs I
thought that it would be a good idea to report my problem too.

I have a 2.4.0-test10 patched with reiserfs (but I do not use it - it was
just in my plan to create a partition sometime; so I think that it does not
matter to much). Kernel compiled with egcs-1.1.2:

root@invasion:~# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-slackware-linux/egcs-2.91.66/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)

The problem is that I tried to build perl-5.6.0 and some of my tests were
failing. First I thought that it is a problem with shared libraries but I
was wrong, in the test directory I have a file named "big" which has 5Gb
(almost):

root@invasion:/# debugfs /dev/hda2
debugfs 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
debugfs:  cd /usr/src/perl-5.6.0/t/
debugfs:  ls
1097360 (12) .   1354979 (184) ..   1097503 (3900) big   
debugfs:  ls -l
1097360  40700    504   1001    4096  3-Dec-2000 13:43 .
1354979  40755    504   1001    4096  3-Dec-2000 13:43 ..
1097503 100644      0      0   5000000003  3-Dec-2000 10:00 big

Ofcourse this is wrong because:
debugfs:  q
root@invasion:/# df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2              5999072    756772   4932648  13% /


I've checked my syslog and messages for ext2 warnings but I found nothing
unusual.

The system is UP and dmesg output is attached.

OTOH does anyone know how to silent messages like:
NAT: 0 dropping untracked packet c7d205c0 1 192.129.3.151 -> 224.0.0.1
NAT: 0 dropping untracked packet c7d129a0 1 192.129.3.151 -> 224.0.0.1
They are annoying and after some time they just fill up my dmesg output
(all dropped packets are multicast just like the two above).
