OK, so you are effectively corrupting random blocks by introducing
random bit errors in the blocks. No surprise that some errors are
not being detected - what is the blocktrash command that you are
using?

 

xfs_db -x -c blockget -c "blocktrash -s 12345 -n 256 -x 1 -y 1024 -3" /dev/sda1

xfs_repair is not checking the di_flags field in the inode for
sanity, hence having a wrong flag set is going unnoticed.

 

ok

Similar error message (xfs_iformt found an inode corruption), but
that one is a completely different problem.

Does the patch below (compile tested only) detect the bad inode?

 

Yes I have tested it, It seems to work fine,

I did not find this patch in mainline xfsprogs git, also I need to modify the patch somewhat.

dino->di_flags  ===================> dinoc->di_flags

because dino is not having any member named di_flags in xfsprogs-3.0.5, so I used dinoc instead.

 

Cheers,

Dave.

xfs_repair: validate inode di_flags field

xfs_repair is not validating the di_flags field in the inode for
sanity. Block fuzzing indicates that we are not picking situations
like the RT bit being set on filesystems without realtime devices.
