| Summary | 0000431: Writing to ext3 filesystem created by CentOS 6 will freeze the whole system | ||||
| Description | The release kernel freezes up when writing to ext3 filesystem created by CentOS 6. When the problem occurs, - the shell responds with [Enter] key, but - anything involving disk I/O will not return. (ls, sync etc) - there are no kernel traceback. Kernels with problem: kernel-5.14.0-70.26.1.el9_0.x86_64 Kernels with no problem observed: kernel-5.14.0-168.el9.x86_64 (CentOS Stream 9) kernel-ml-5.15.71 kernel-ml-5.15.0 | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Reproduction: - Install a CentOS 6 machine. 6.10 suffices. Install using "ext3" filesystem as the root partition. Use the installed image as the test disk, or mkfs.ext3 a separate disk for test disk. - Mount the test disk on Rocky 9 machine: mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt - Copy over a large directory, such as kernel build directory: rsync -av -H kernel.org /mnt/var/tmp/ or cp -v -pr kernel.org /mnt/var/tmp/ - After a couple of minutes, the copy will halt. Ctrl+C could be sent, but often no feedback. | ||||
| Additional Information | Nobody uses ext3 nowadays, so the fix priority may be low. On one occation I managed to get a ps axlww of the process: [kabe@rocky9 ~]$ ps axlww|grep rsync 0 1001 1213 1167 20 0 238612 11172 conges D+ pts/0 0:00 rsync -av -H /home/kabe/r9builds/kernel-r9 /mnt/ 1 1001 1214 1213 20 0 238236 9388 do_sel S+ pts/0 0:00 rsync -av -H /home/kabe/r9builds/kernel-r9 /mnt/ 1 1001 1215 1214 20 0 238820 8300 do_sel S+ pts/0 0:00 rsync -av -H /home/kabe/r9builds/kernel-r9 /mnt/ 0 1001 1246 1222 20 0 221680 2396 pipe_r S+ pts/1 0:00 grep --color=auto rsync kernel-5.14.0-168.el9.x86_64 (CentOS Stream 9) seems to have lots of ext4 related fixes since kernel-5.14.0-70. It may be fixed on next major release... | ||||

Rocky 9 kernel-5.14.0-162.6.1.el9_1.0.1.x86_64 seems to have this problem fixed. I could rsync 150GB of data to ext3 filsystem without problem. This report could be closed. |
