Louie, Can you post some additional information that may help in debugging this issue. 1) Can you post the output of 'virsh dumpxml <vm_domain>' of the affected VM? 2) Can you post the /boot/config-`uname -r` of the affected VM's kernel? 3) What type of partitioning layout does your VM have?
It seems that it has been reproducible in 3.13 to 3.16 in this report, and the upstream report shows 3.19. I tried this in a local VM with 32GB disk, 2 cpu, 512MB memory, swapfile and could not trivially reproduce with the filebench test case you mentioned above. --chris -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1423672 Title: ext4_mb_generate_buddy:756: group N, block bitmap and bg descriptor inconsistent: X vs Y Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in linux source package in Trusty: Confirmed Status in linux package in Debian: New Bug description: I noticed that one of my VM had this "dmesg -T" output: [Tue Feb 17 09:53:27 2015] systemd-udevd[5433]: starting version 204 [Thu Feb 19 06:25:08 2015] EXT4-fs error (device vda1): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:756: group 5, block bitmap and bg descriptor inconsistent: 16446 vs 16445 free clusters [Thu Feb 19 06:25:09 2015] Aborting journal on device vda1-8.
