I am afaid after you fsck the filesystem and change the state, we can't track the root cause any more but I wish you used this tool to check whether the dm-writeboost is broken or not.
https://github.com/akiradeveloper/dm-writeboost-tools
And of course you should have checked the dmesg if there is some message from dm-writeboost. At least, the configuration must be shared.
About flawlessness of the software, in my opinion, dm-writeboost will not be broken in a usual operation because there are users that operate more harder more longer days. So the typical situation, dm-writeboost may go insane is that you shut down the system in unusual manner. I design the dm-writeboost so it survives even in this situation but I can't prove that the isn't anything wrong in code.
When dm-writeboost is broken, it is typically seen that the checksum is broken. The tool wbcheck
is the one to check this. (checksum is broken means writing the segment is ended in unanticipated consequence)
If you ever deconstructed the dm-writeboost device after your system went wrong and the device was rebuilt and then sawthe dmesg, there were chances we could check if the checksums are not broken because the kernel code check all the segments. This code means, dm-writeboost discards segments after failure (e.g. partial writes)
/*
* Compare the checksum
* if they don't match we discard the subsequent logs.
*/
actual = calc_checksum(rambuf, header->length);
expected = le32_to_cpu(header->checksum);
if (actual != expected) {
DMWARN("Checksum incorrect id:%llu checksum: %u != %u",
(long long unsigned int) le64_to_cpu(header->id),
actual, expected);
break;
}
However, since you are telling that most of the data are gone, I don't believe only the some final writes have failed but the entire data is broken. I don't know it is due to dm-writeboost or ext4 or your operation.
Please check the hardware (memory, disk), if I remember correctly, there was a case that the cause is the broken memory. It can be possible that your system is running half correctly while writing something crazy data to the disk and then suddenly go crazy after few days. In this case, both storage softwares are to be blamed.
I think it's my fault when i try this: Daily i will try to move some file in this data folder to tmp folder also in this data folder and use perl unlink $_; cause there are milion files, reference to this article: https://www.slashroot.in/which-is-the-fastest-method-to-delete-files-in-linux But maybe some other process is using this file causing this file system failure :( So if this situation happened again, what should i do along with checking with dm-writeboost-tools? Ps: dmesg when i try to suspend and then resume dm writeboost when this happened [835082.723180] device-mapper: writeboost: Checksum incorrect id:1463972724 checksum: 143703573 != 0 [3341439.144832] device-mapper: writeboost: Superblock Header: Magic number invalid [3341439.148175] device-mapper: writeboost: zeroing_full_superblock failed [3341439.151006] device-mapper: writeboost: format_cache_device failed [3341439.154214] device-mapper: table: 253:5: writeboost: resume_cache failed [3341482.298718] device-mapper: writeboost: Superblock Header: Magic number invalid
Such operations in the userland will not cause data corruption in kernel level.
The error message tells us that the segment has a checksum of 0 on the data but the recomputed value is 143703573. This means the segment was written badly due to some serious system failure (cpu/memory/disk or power failure)
You should use wbcheck tool to check all the segments on the cache device and count how many of them are corrupted. Especially, it is important to know if the neighbours (id 1463972723 and 1463972725) are ok.
Thank you for response i will close this topic for now

Please give segment ID as the parameter, not the inode number.

This means you haven't formatted the caching device.

You have to understand how dm-writeboost segments the caching device before using it.
My guess is that, as I mentioned earlier, your system is broken. Don't know the disk, memory or cpu. Because dm-writeboost formats the caching device when it is not formatted (so erasing all the cache blocks is done by zeroing the first sector of the caching device). Then, that the superblock is unformatted is just an error.
After erasing all the cache blocks is done by zeroing the first sector of the caching device, the directory is working normal again. So as you said the caching device is not formatted probably causing by system error (Disk, memory, cpu )Right? But i have checked monitor system at error momment happen nothing unsual happens :(
Really? I didn't tell you should zero the first sector but okay if it works.
Actually, the most of the dirty blocks have been done write-back
current id = 4369548
last flushed id = 4369547
last writeback id = 4369547
then it would probably be ok to discard the caches.
But i have checked monitor system at error momment happen nothing unsual happens :(
Additionally you had better run memory check and badblock if you can. It is very very weird to see that the super block is broken. It is so unusual.
wbcheck /dev/mapper/ssddisk-ssd 4369547 also return nothing so i assume it had been write successfully also. I will try to check memory and badblock now.
If you can. Yes.
I don't precisely remember what issue number it was but I remember a user report was finally resolved after the memory was found broken.

Is that possible? I have try umount and mount that data folder again but nothing changed, still can not interact with the folder. Then i use fsck trying to fix file system, lost+found folder created but all the other folder and data had been removed. I know it's not your responsibility to this fault but can you tell me how can i debug it to the root cause? Thank you akira
