The dmesg indicates that the kernel trapped a general protection fault (GPF) in kernel space. So this looks like some kind of kernel bug which was triggered by e2fsck. Unfortunately the EIP is invalid, so it's hard to track down what might have caused it. If this is repeatable, I'd suggest using strace so we can see what e2fsck was requesting of the kernel right before it triggered the kernel GPF which killed the process. - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
