            Bug ID: 230851
           Summary: fsck sets last modified file size to zero on crash on
                    UFS filesystem
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.2-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: aliovx@gmail.com

On system crash, fsck sets the last modified files size to 0, loosing their
content.=20

Step to reproduce

1) edit a file, for example /boot/loader.conf
2) cause a panic, for example sysctl debug.kdb.panic=3D1

On next boot the content of loader.conf is gone, and its size is set to zer=
o.=20

I'm not sure if this is an expected behavior, but it is really bad to loose=
 the
content of the last modified files on crash/panic. I don't pretend to find =
my
last modifications save, but at least the original file.=20

My UFS settings are the following, but I've tried different combinations,
mainly playing with the -n and -j options, same result.=20

tunefs: POSIX.1e ACLs: (-a)                                disabled
tunefs: NFSv4 ACLs: (-N)                                   disabled
tunefs: MAC multilabel: (-l)                               disabled
tunefs: soft updates: (-n)                                 enabled
tunefs: soft update journaling: (-j)                       enabled
tunefs: gjournal: (-J)                                     disabled
tunefs: trim: (-t)                                         enabled
tunefs: maximum blocks per file in a cylinder group: (-e)  4096
tunefs: average file size: (-f)                            16384
tunefs: average number of files in a directory: (-s)       64
tunefs: minimum percentage of free space: (-m)             8%
tunefs: space to hold for metadata blocks: (-k)            6408
tunefs: optimization preference: (-o)                      time
tunefs: volume label: (-L)
