bug#12656: cp since 8.11 corrupts files


From: Mike Gerth
Subject: bug#12656: cp since 8.11 corrupts files
Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2012 17:05:56 +0200

Hello,

I noticed an error in cp (8.11 upwards till 8.19) when copying many files 
from an fragmented ext3fs (to an empty partition).

ERROR:
        The copied file has exact length. 
        The SourceFile has in the middle a 4K-block filled with ZERO, the 
DestFile this 4k-block and the previous 4k-block also filled with ZERO.
 

I can reproduce this:
        Conditions:
                *I have a strong fragmented 110GB ext3-partition with >300 
Files
                *I have to copy about 100 files (ca. 15GB) to another 
HDD-Partition or ramdisk
                *cp must be 8.11 or higher (compiled under SLES11SP2 
kernel 3.0) (everything is ok with 6.11. 8.05..8.10)
                *Command: 
                        cp819    $FILES $DEST #here the corruption comes
                        *$FILES is a list of about 100 DatabaseFiles. The 
last one is the file that becomes corrupted
 
I can _NOT_ reproduce this:
                *with cp <8.11
                *Command:
                        for F in $FILES; do cp -dp $SRC$F $DEST$F ;done 
#no corruption


Reproduce:
        *tested with SLES11SP1, SLES11SP2, Ubuntu 12.04
                (cp less 8.11 is good, cp 8.11 upwards corrupts the file)
        *when I bulk copy the about 100 files, the corruption always 
happen with the same file and same position
        *if I copy less files or the single file there is no corruption 
        *if I copy all files there are more corruptions

I am 95% sure that in previous Tests if have also seen a corrupted file 
with several 100k filled with ZERO.


Surely it would be most simple to reproduce the error if I could provide 
the whole partition as is.
But since the Files are Database files I can not provide it. Are there any 
tests that I can do?

Best regards and thanks in advance for your help,
Mike
