--- Comment #16 from Christoph Biedl <bugzilla.kernel.bpeb@manchmal.in-ulm.de>  2010-03-27 17:48:48 ---
The last days I ran into the same problems on several machines and was finally
able to reproduce the BUG in 2.6.32.10, 2.6.33, 2.6.34-rc1.  The trick is to
resize a file system that once was ext3.



Steps to reproduce:

# create a volume group vg_test. (lvm was mainly used for convenience)

# create a logical volume
lvcreate -n test -L 128m vg_test

DEV=/dev/vg_test/test
# create an ext3 filesystem
mke2fs -j $DEV

# convert to ext4
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index,flex_bg,huge_file,dir_nlink,extra_isize
$DEV
e2fsck -yDf -C0 $DEV

# mount
mkdir /tmp/text
mount -o noatime $DEV /tmp/test

# resize LV
lvresize -L +4m $DEV

# online resize ext4
resize2fs -p $DEV



Observed behaviour:

Let me know if you're interested in the kernel .config.
