We have a EXT3 filesystem contained in a file
(a disk image mapped to a file using loop device).
Using diff, observed random differences between
files on the image and a backup copies of those files.
This problem is reproducible,
tried booting several times with 3.3.8 and 3.4.0.
No problems on 3.3.8.
But every time on 3.4.0, randomly a few files showed corruption.
Some files that were corrupt become ok again after rebooting/remounting.
About 5% of the file contents was garbage, rest was correct, the file size was correct.

Seems to be a memory problem in 3.4.0?
chkdsk never showed any problem (in the disk image file).

Using Debian 6.  Ran memtest86+, chkdsk, badblocks -- no errors.
Disk image was created mkfs.ext3 with the smallest inode/block size.

A bit different with me, no problems on 3.4, but have problems on 3.5-rc1.

I can easily reproduce the problem, just kernel boot and mount
rootfs(ext4), then
reboot again and found there are many rootfs errors as below, see attachment
for fsck check result.

[   22.451385] EXT4-fs error (device mmcblk0p2):
ext4_mb_generate_buddy:741: group 2, 0 clusters in bitmap, 1 in gd
[   23.263092] JBD2: Spotted dirty metadata buffer (dev = mmcblk0p2,
blocknr = 0). There's a risk of filesystem corruption in case of
system crash.


BTW: I use mmc card to store rootfs and test it on OMAP3 based beagle-xm board.

Thanks,
