Hello, I am not subscribed to this mailing list. My apologies if non-members are not allowed to post in this forum. I have a Linux-2.4.19pre10aa4 computer and I have seen an error message "Unexpected dirty buffer encountered at do_get_write_access:598 (03:05 blocknr 0)" appears in the log. With a little bit of research I found that this message is printed from fs/jbd/journal.c, and understood that it comes out of EXT3 fs. I am afraid I don't have enough knowledge of C and Linux Kernel/EXT3 to debug this message. I have seen Andrea's change log for 2.4.19pre10aa3, and found that there were few updates to EXT3 (he says it is from 2.4.19pre10jam2). The one and only File system in my computer is /, and it is an EXT3 fs (mounted with defaults options). Is this error message is an indication of any serier nature? Do you want me to try an another kernel such as main line, -ac etc to see if I can reproduce it? (to best of my knowledge I didn't do anything special to cause this message) For the record it is a, Intel P-II 333 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 256 MB SWAP (though the swap usage generally doesn't exceed more that 10-20 MB) RedHat 7.3 / glibc-2.2.5 / gcc-2.96-110 3 GB EXT3 root file system, mounted with 'defaults' option Regular KDE 3.x Work station. Thanks, Hari, harisri@telstra.com or harisri@bigpond.com (both are same)
