Can you try this patch ? commit a8836b1d6f92273e001012c7705ae8f4c3d5fb65 Author: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Tue Oct 27 15:36:38 2009 +0530 ext4: discard preallocation during truncate We need to make sure when we drop and reacquire the inode's i_data_sem we discard the inode preallocation. Otherwise we could have blocks marked as free in bitmap but still belonging to prealloc space.
