I also had three new messages yesterday (after reboot+fsck): Mar 8 18:03:45 olan kernel: Unexpected dirty buffer encountered at do_get_write_access:618 (08:11 blocknr 920719) Mar 8 19:03:54 olan kernel: Unexpected dirty buffer encountered at do_get_write_access:618 (08:11 blocknr 920707) Mar 8 19:03:54 olan kernel: Unexpected dirty buffer encountered at do_get_write_access:618 (08:11 blocknr 920707) I am still confused because the 08:11 pair does not match any partition on my system: # cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 8 0 8886762 sda 8 1 195568 sda1 8 2 976896 sda2 8 3 1952768 sda3 8 4 5761024 sda4 8 16 8886762 sdb 8 17 8886256 sdb1 # mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) /dev/sda3 on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/sdb1 on /var type ext3 (rw,data=journal) Thanks for your reply. -- Nicolas _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
