I forget to mention, we are mainly looking for crash-recovery bugs. The
warnings can trigger this way:
1. do several file system operations
2. "crash" the test machine
3. get the crashed disk image, run fsck to recover
4. mount the recovered disk image
I'm able to reproduce the same warnings on ext2 using the following
program:
main()
{
system("sudo umount /dev/hda9");
system("/sbin/mke2fs /dev/hda9");
system("sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/hda9 /mnt/sbd1 -o sync,dirsync");
creat("/mnt/sbd1/0002", 0777);
mkdir("/mnt/sbd1/0003", 0777);
// unplug your power cord here :) then use e2fsck to recover
}
