Hi, I posted a very similar problem a couple of days ago: http://www.nabble.com/BUG-in-ext3_sync_fs-td16999997.html to which I got zero replies. Can I close this in my internal bugzilla as dup/"not my fault"? The stacktrace looks very similar. This was also ext2 fs mounted (apparently) by ext3 code. Thanks.
