thanks for the link, that really should clear up some things:

Andrew Morton replied in [0] and pointed to a ext3-cvs.patch. Unfortunately it's not there any more: try to contact him where this file has moved to or try the wayback-machine [1] when it's back online.

Another reply [2] from Stephen Tweedie explained this in depth, mentioning 2 fixes:

1) a missing "goto repeat", this should be this patch:
   http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=5105906

2) something involing parallel blockdevice IO/fs IO. However, I could
   not spot the right patch on the ext3 CVS commit list [3]. Maybe
   the ext3 developers remember...

That, or someone with the lost ext3-cvs.patch should do it.

I know that the kernel version I am currently running is too old.
However, since it is running on the legacy product, it is not easy
to convince the customer to do the upgrade.

4 years of begging to update their product to the present state-of-technology, wow ;)

If you can point me to where the fix is, I will probably just get
the fix and replace the file(s) while keeping running 2.4.19 kernel.

Although Andrews patch was in ../2.4/2.4.19-pre8/ext3-cvs.patch, he said:

Stephen has a fix in ext3 CVS for this.  I've been playing with that
fix in 2.5.x.  I guess we'll slot it into 2.4.20-pre.

would it be possible to "upgrade" to 2.4.20?

Christian.
