Hi, attached patch changes JBD commit code to properly record reason for aborted journal (j_errno) and not just mark the journal as aborted. Andrew, could you please queue the patch? Thanks. Honza -- Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> SUSE Labs, CR ----- We should really call journal_abort() and not __journal_abort_hard() in case of errors. The latter call does not record the error in the journal superblock and thus filesystem won't be marked as with errors later (and user could happily mount it without any warning).
