I was able to reproduce this with: SCRATCH=/dev/sdc1 mke2fs -t ext4 -m 0 $SCRATCH mount $SCRATCH /mnt dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test.img bs=256M count=640 losetup /dev/loop0 /mnt/test.img mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/loop0 I tested Ted's patches on top of 3.2.37 (one of them needed a context change as we already got commit dee1f973ca341c266229faa5a1a5bb268bed3531) and they seem to fix the problem: I see no errors from mke2fs, or the kernel, or subsequent 'fsck.ext4 -f' of the inner and outer filesystems. I have therefore committed these for the next Debian release and will also queue them up for 3.2.y. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Experience is what causes a person to make new mistakes instead of old ones.
