(fyi: this night i started using fsstress from ltp) i do not know if this error is related to the error we are hunting. maybe its only related to some other effect caused by "fsstress" Aug 25 20:13:00 localhost kernel: Assertion failure in journal_stop() at fs/jbd/transaction.c:1331: "journal_current_handle() == handle" Aug 25 20:13:00 localhost kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ Aug 25 20:13:00 localhost kernel: kernel BUG at fs/jbd/transaction.c:1331!
