Several people already reported this at linux-kernel and
elsewhere with no answers, I thought perhaps this would be a more
adequate forum...
[1.] One line summary of the problem:
After I/O, journal is aborted and filesystems made read-only.
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
One can't anymore write to the affected file systems. Upon
investigation, ext3fs journal was aborted and affected filesystems are
remounted read-only. Reboot prompts for fsck to be run manually, with
fixes taking several prompts and minutes.
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
File systems, I/O, RAID, LVM, kernel.
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
Couldn't find /proc/version, uname -a gives:
Linux mercurio 2.6.2-1-686-smp #1 SMP Sat Feb 7 15:27:45 EST 2004 i686
GNU/Linux

resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)

problem (if possible)
