I somehow managed to corrupt some of my filesystem.
What I did was this:
in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf (Kubuntu)
I added:
install snd-aloop /sbin/modprobe snd-aloop
Saved it, then ran, modprobe snd-aloop, the system started spawning
many copies of modprobe, then machine started going though a swap
storm, could not reboot safely, hit power button on laptop. When the
system came back up, EXT4 greeted me with severe errors on some
opened files. It did repair filesystem however. It corrupted some
configuration files that were open at the time of the shutdown.
I'm guessing no matter how much you attempt to replay a journal you
still can get corruption such as this?
You shouldn't get any file system corruption after replaying a
journal. I'm trying to get an easily reproducible test case for this.
Can you give me more information about where your root filesystem is
located. Is it using LVM? dm-crypt? Can you reliably reproducible
the file system corruption?
