ext3_free_blocks_sb when removing a more than 1GB file

[Stephane Cerveau]

Dear all,



It seems that if I change the size of blocks to 2048 by mkfs.ext3 –b 2048 /dev/sda1, the problem does not appear.



Is there a way to know by advance what is the best block size for an external device ?

BR

Dear all,



I’m formatting a specific MSC key in ext3. This key sizes 4GB.

When I copy a file which is more than 1GB ( 1024MB), I got many errors “Ext3-fs error ( device sda1): ext3_free_blocks_sb: bit already cleared for block xxxx” when I try to remove it after having sync the copy.

Do you know why I could have this kind of error?

Why the problem appears only on this kind of key ?

What can I do to identify the problem?

It seems that there is no error in the FS (e2fsck done successfully) before removing the key.



Best regards.
