That could be just about anything corrupting the inode state: an ext3 fault, or something else in the VM, or indeed a different filesystem. What modules do you have loaded, and what other filesystems are you using? At the moment I'm still searching for a pattern here. Did the other oops look identical to this? Is there any more of the call trace available for this particular oops? Thanks, Stephen
