ext4: "fill_buffer on unknown block <BLOCKID> out of range" |
| 2 |

I have seen a number of these appearing in my dmesg recently for a |
| 4 |
new-ish external disk. I'm afraid that it's a paraphrase, as I am away |
| 5 |
from the machine at present. |

|

ckfs.ext4 -f comes back clean and smartmontools reports nothing out |
| 8 |
of the ordinary. |

I have been running Picasa through wine, which is probably the |
| 11 |
application using the disk. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
What does this error imply? I'm guessing that they are failed writes, |
| 14 |
but if so, why is ckfs reporting that the filesystem is clean? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I'm guessing that it means that data has been lost, but am uncertain |
| 17 |
how to determine which files are bad. |

Any advice or help would be appreciated - |
