From e6a47428de84e19fda52f21ab73fde2906c40d09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2009 15:31:37 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] jbd2: don't wipe the journal on a failed journal checksum If there is a failed journal checksum, don't reset the journal. This allows for userspace programs to decide how to recover from this situation. It may be that ignoring the journal checksum failure might be a better way of recovering the file system. Once we add per-block checksums, we can definitely do better. Until then, a system administrator can try backing up the file system image (or taking a snapshot) and and trying to determine experimentally whether ignoring the checksum failure or aborting the journal replay results in less data loss.
