@Clint: it's back. On Natty 11.04 I am getting unclean inodes again. I notice a single inode in dmesg after every boot: $ cat /var/log/dmesg.0 | grep orphan [ 4.470372] EXT4-fs (sda1): orphan cleanup on readonly fs [ 4.470443] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 2228229 [ 4.470538] EXT4-fs (sda1): 1 orphan inode deleted
So I ran the test:
$ sudo -i # apt-get install --reinstall libc6 && shutdown -r now
on reboot: $ dmesg | grep orphan [ 13.408854] EXT4-fs (sda1): orphan cleanup on readonly fs [ 13.408928] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 541072 [ 13.409078] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 541058 [ 13.409108] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 541055 [ 13.409138] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 541048 [ 13.409161] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 541045 [ 13.409187] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 541038 [ 13.409210] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 541032 [ 13.409233] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 541029 [ 13.409255] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 541028 [ 13.409279] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 541012 [ 13.409312] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 541007 [ 13.409336] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 540992 [ 13.409361] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 540791 [ 13.438394] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 540772 [ 13.438427] EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode 2228229 [ 13.438491] EXT4-fs (sda1): 15 orphan inodes deleted
