Hi, well, the timely release of 2.6.26-ext4-3 seemed like a good omen, and so I decided to try and put my new home box in- stall on ext4 today, using that latest patchset and e2fsprogs 1.41.0. So far I'm not getting very far. I'm attempting to install Gentoo Linux, which involves copying an initial tarball to the root file system and unpacking it. Already while downloading the tarball into the FS my console an dmesg were getting spammed with messages of the type: JBD: pdflush wants too many credits (x > y) And then, while unpacking it: JBD: tar wants too many credits (x > y) JBD: pdflush wants too many credits (x > y) The latter repeatedly and with no end, to the point where I eventually had to hard reset the box because it seemingly wasn't going to stop while acchieving no disk activity (LED not blinking). I have an inkling that mke2fs -t ext4 dev didn't make a big enough journal in the 46 GB big partition, but not being an ext-pert (...) I wouldn't really know how to interpret the error. So, anyone want to rescue my Sunday and give some pointers?
