Hi, I just had my server cry this out to the console: Assertion failure in do_get_write_access() at transaction.c:658: "jh->b_transaction == journal->j_committing_transaction" kernel BUG at transaction.c:658! invalid operand: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<c015e1f6>] Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010286 eax: 0000007d ebx: c2ff4200 ecx: c243e000 edx: c068af00 esi: c0d6d900 edi: c2ff4200 ebp: c03f4190 esp: c243fd44 ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Process gzip (pid: 28630, stackpage=c243f000) Stack: c0273660 c027385b c0273640 00000292 c0273920 c2ff4200 c18dd660 c03f4190 c2ff4294 00000001 c0155dd6 00000000 00000000 00000000 c2f0f740 00000000 c243fdc4 c243fdc4 c2ff4200 c015e4c8 c18dd660 c03f4190 00000000 00000006 Call Trace: [<c0155dd6>] [<c015e4c8>] [<c0156337>] [<c015668d>] [<c0156788>] [<c01319d2>] [<c013226e>] [<c015672c>] [<c0156bc5>] [<c015672c>] [<c0125685>] [<c0125ae3>] [<c0117856>] [<c0154906>] [<c012f766>] [<c0106b63>] Code: 0f 0b 92 02 40 36 27 c0 83 c4 14 8b 45 08 83 f8 06 0f 85 85 The version of Linux is 2.4.28. It took a hardware reset to get /dev/sda2 (the partition with the fs I suspect was aching) back online. At the time of the error I was tarring jpegs to that partition. I could not find any references to this sort of bug being encountered or fixed after 2.4.28, so I felt obliged to report it. Is it a known bug? If so, has it been fixed? If not, can it be fixed & do you need my help or any other info? Regards, Yuri _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
