I have a RH 7.3 system with kernal 2.4.18-3smp with ext3 drives that seemed to be working OK, but in past few days it has hung up several times, with the kernal still running (system responds to pings), but all other services are stalled. The consistent message in /var/log/messages is: Nov 17 11:21:24 krypton kernel: Assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() at commit.c:535: "buffer_jdirty(bh)" Nov 17 11:21:24 krypton kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ Nov 17 11:21:24 krypton kernel: kernel BUG at commit.c:535! Nov 17 11:21:24 krypton kernel: invalid operand: 0000 And it goes on. This sounds similar to what you are experiencing. I'm looking for some documentation that this is a bug, and that there is (hopefully) a fix. Can I turn ext3 off and revert to ext2 by simplying change my fstab file, or is life not that simple?
