There are plenty of references to this problem in the archives, too: it was fixed a few weeks ago. Fortunately there's an errata out already: > Assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() at commit.c:535:\ > "buffer_jdirty(bh)" > Linux arachne.unet.brandeis.edu 2.4.18-3smp #1 SMP Thu Apr 18 07:27:31 EDT 2002 i686 unknown 2.4.18-3smp has the fault. It's an SMP-only problem which has been there for ages but is only just showing up recently; I suspect that's due to timing changes elsewhere. The Red Hat 2.4.18-4smp errata fixes it.
