Hi,
I have a server configured as follows:
a standard 2.4.18 kernel, IDE discs, 1Gb RAM (not all used), load avg around 1-2.
a large partition, formatted reiserfs
within large partition are 80 300Mb loopback file systems, formatted ext3.
I got the following assertion yesterday which forced a lot of processes
into D state. I'm not sure how easy it is to reproduce this problem.
Assertion failure in journal_start() at transaction.c:226: "handle->h_transaction->t_journal == journal"
The oops follows:
